...famous old west shootout...!

The popularity of Tombstone today rests solely on the notorious ‘old west’ shootout between the Earps, the Clantons, and the McLaureys...the ‘Gunfight at the OK Corral’. Virgil Earp, the sheriff in town, had mandated that all weapons be surrendered within the city limits. Virgil enlisted the support of his brothers, Morgan, and Wyatt Earp along with Doc Holliday to confront the Clantons and the McLareys resulting in the famous shootout near the OK Corral.

...Crystal Palace, Big Nose Kate’s, or the Longhorn...

Okay!...the O.K. shootout is not the only thing to see while in Tombstone. Just the stroll down the wooden sidewalks gives the visitor a good look at what the old west towns looked like back when. All tourist like to eat good food. No matter whether it’s the Crystal Palace, Big Nose Kate’s Saloon, or the Longhorn you will enjoy your selection.

...head south to Mexico like the cowboys...

Tombstone is located on Arizona’s Hwy 80, a major artery that leads south to Douglas, Arizona and the border with Mexico. This is a great ride that provides a perfect half way rest stop in Bisbee, Arizona, located the Mule Mountains. Bisbee is a charming old mining town with the historic town resembling many small European towns. Bisbee is home of the Queen Mine, the longest active mine in Arizona. Heading further south about 30 miles will find you on the border, in Douglas, Arizona. If you head north out of Douglas on Hwy 191 to McNeal, Arizona, you can turn your iron west on Davis Road to head back to Tombstone.
