Leavenworth gets the most attention in December, when the Village of Lights draws visitors from across Washington State and the Bavarian-themed buildings glow under half a million lights. It earns significant attention in October for Oktoberfest. But summer, June through August, may actually be Leavenworth's best-kept seasonal secret.
The winter crowds thin out. The surrounding Cascade Mountains turn green. The...
Two Towns, 25 Miles Apart, Completely Different Worlds
Most visitors to southern Arizona know Tombstone. Fewer know Bisbee.
Both sit along AZ-80 in Cochise County, about 25 miles apart. Both were born in Arizona's mining boom years. Both survived the collapse of their mines. And both draw visitors from across the country.
But that is where the similarities end.
Tombstone and Bisbee went...
Why Bisbee Became Arizona's Most Unlikely Art Town
When the copper mines closed in 1975, Bisbee should have died.
Other Arizona mining towns did. They became ghost towns, empty buildings, abandoned streets, and a few historic plaques.
Bisbee did not die. It transformed. Explore the beautiful Art Galleries Bisbee AZ for your upcoming visit to Bisbee Arizona.

This itinerary is built for travelers arriving the evening before or staying overnight. It covers...
There is something about Bisbee that makes people fall a little in love, with the place, and often with whoever they're traveling with.

Arizona is not just Grand Canyon postcards and Phoenix sprawl. Tucked between its red-rock mesas, desert grasslands, and mountain sky islands lies a parallel Arizona that most visitors never find, a patchwork of Victorian mining towns, Route 66 relics, artist colonies, wine villages, and ghost-town streets where burros still roam free.
These are the small towns that make Arizona one...
Bisbee is a remarkably good destination for dog travelers. The canyon streets, staircase neighborhoods, and outdoor dining culture of this small Arizona arts community make it a natural fit for well-behaved dogs whose owners don't mind a few logistical considerations specific to a hillside town.
This Bisbee AZ Pet Friendly Guide covers the pet-friendly hotels, dog-welcoming restaurants, hiking options, practical...
Tombstone, Arizona has a marketing problem that is also, in a backwards way, its greatest asset. Every visitor arrives knowing at least one thing: the gunfight at the OK Corral, October 26, 1881, 30 seconds of violence that produced three dead cowboys and the most documented gunfight in American frontier history.
That singular event, endlessly retold in film, television, and...
