Veteran's Day trip


We took a trip up to Jerome over the holiday. It's a very touristy town and I was a bit disappointed. I don't know what I was expecting, maybe something a little more in line with the town's history, instead of a bunch of art galleries. The weather was beautiful though, it was chilly and overcast. We found this incredible waterfall at the end of a little street that started out touristy and ended up residential. The neat part about this town is that since it is literally built into the side of a mountain, the whole town is switchbacks. We parked on the bottom street and climbed stairs, similar to these, to get up to the next road and so on. We continued down the highway as it leaves the other end of Jerome and crossed over Mingus mountain. There was snow on the ground at the top. The drive was actually nice except for the idiot driving the corvette that passed us on a blind curve in the switchbacks.
