Jerome
Historic town · Jerome · Arizona
Jerome clings to the side of Cleopatra Hill above the copper mines that once supported more than 10,000 people, its steep streets now lined with galleries, wine-tasting rooms, and the tilted walls of the old Sliding Jail. Fall brings cooler air at 4,600 feet and thinner crowds than the summer weekends between Sedona and Prescott.
