The road from Prescott to Jerome is not for the faint of heart. There are about 158 hairpin curves with sharp drop-offs and very few guard rails. I had taken it once before many years ago and I wasn't exactly looking forward to it on this trip.
But, getting to Jerome is kind of fun. It is a very small artists community on the east side of the mountains. And, it is really on the side of the mountain. There isn't much of a flat spot in the entire town. The switchbacks go THROUGH the town!
Once there, you can relax with a cold beer (to stop the shaking) and wander through various shops.
Meet Samantha from the shop that sells stuff associated with a local band called Puscifer. She likes the band was full of information to share about them!
I don't exactly know what this person was doing in the shop. But, he has been there a long time.
This is what it looks like just before you get to Jerome. At this point, you've crossed the peak and are on your way down...slowly....hopefully.
There isn't much give on those rocks. But, I found them beautiful.
Finally, you can relax at one of many eating establishments. GRAPES...was quite nice!
