Begin the day with a 90 minute scenic, narrated flight (a three day stagecoach ride in the 1800’s) over the lush farmland and pecan groves of southern Arizona to a landing strip in the desert about 3 miles from town. Enjoy modern transportation into the town of Tombstone and leave the present world behind as you step back into the 1800’s Wild West.
A walking tour by Dr. Jay will give you an overview of the history of this “town that wouldn’t die”; from it’s mining origins, through it’s heyday as the largest city in the Southwest, to the days of the Earp Brothers, Doc Holliday and the gunfight at the OK Corral.
After the walking tour you will be ‘on your own’ to take in the sights and attractions that most appeal to you.
