Tombstone, Arizona is an hour-and-half drive from Tucson across the desert and into the sparsely populated rangelands that still support numerous cattle ranches. It is an authentic, old-west, gold-mining town best known as the site of the `Gunfight at the OK Corral`. Main street has been restored as it was in 1881 when Wyatt and Virgil Earp along with Doc Holliday killed Billy Clanton and the McLaury brothers in the famous shootout at the OK Corral. Most of the old buildings now contain restaurants, gift shops and tourist attractions, and the OK Corral has been enclosed and converted to a museum. Along the streets, actors in western costumes promote gunfight shows, old-west museums, saloons and stagecoach tours of the town.

You can visit `Boot Hill`, the graveyard at the edge of the town where 250 residents of Tombstone were buried, most of them murdered, killed by Apache Indians, shot in gunfights, lynched or legally hanged. Tucson`s rich cultural heritage centers on a unique blend of Native American, Spanish, Mexican and Anglo-American influences. Blessed with the natural beauty of the Sonoran Desert and an unsurpassed climate of 360 sunny days a year.Tucson is justly celebrated for its inspiring natural landscapes. Equally inspiring is the state’s rich historical landscape.
