A Journey Back in Time
We are on a journey back to the year 1881, when the West was still wild, rough and wicked. Gun smoke, easy women and tough hombres everywhere you look. Quirky characters cross our path. At the OK Corral, the Earp brothers just had a deadly encounter with the Clantons and McLaurys. 3 men now breathe their last breath in the dusty street. It's easy to see how Tombstone got its name.
On Allen Street, we encounter Doc Holliday. A stagecoach ride through this hot dusty town makes us realize that it's time for a cold beer. We walk through the swinging doors of one of the world famous saloons and feel like the movie heroes from the Westerns that were filmed honoring the legends of Tombstone.

Arizona Climate & Time Zone
Our climate here in Southern Arizona, only half an hour from the Mexico border, is beautifully arid and clear. With few exceptions, the days are warm and sunny, and our mild autumn, winter, and spring temperatures are legendary. Even if it becomes hotter in the summer the low humidity makes the high temperatures quite pleasant. Show average monthly temperature.
In Arizona we have the Mountain Standard Time without Daylight Savings Time. This means that from April to October we have the same time as in the Pacific Standard time zone.

The Town Too Tough to Die
Welcome to the daily edition of the Wild West; to the historic location of Tombstone, Arizona. Tombstone is one of the few remaining, almost completely preserved Western towns in the United States:
The historic Allen Street (pedestrian zone) with dozens of Western gift shops, museums, restaurants, and authentic saloons with live country music.
Daily performances of the famous gunfight at the OK Corral with Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday, Virgil and Morgan Earp facing off against cowboys of the Clanton Ranch and McLaurys.
Boothill Graveyard: The legendary Boot Hill, grave markers abound, amongst others, the infamous and unlucky participants of the legendary Earp gunfight in 1881, some here were hanged, some shot, and many were just innocent unfortunates who were buried here with their boots still on.
