Jerome is a very small mining town on the side of a mountain known to be a very artsy community. What I saw was a biker tourist trap during the day and dead at night. I guess you have to expect the tourist trap part but I expected to see more artsy things such as shops and galleries. There are shops and a few galleries but nothing to get excited about. The very few restaurants there where expensive for what they were serving and didn't get the best service. What I enjoyed most about the trip was hanging out on the balcony of our rental people watching.
I got up early sunday morning to catch the sunrise and then to roam the town. The sunrise wasn't the best due to heavy cloud cover but really enjoyed walking the town before it began to wake up. I ran in to another photographer doing the same thing. I believe his name was Jeff. A lot of great old buildings.
Jerome does have a artwalk once a month. Maybe I will make it back for that and hopefully the artsy will actually show it's face.
This is a hotel that over looks the town.
