The Town Too Tough to Die — the Old West's most famous silver-mining boomtown, frozen in 1881.
No place in Arizona delivers the Old West like Tombstone. Walk wooden boardwalks down **Allen Street**, where gunfight reenactments fire off daily near the **O.K. Corral**, the actual site of the 30-second 1881 shootout between the Earps, Doc Holliday and the Cowboys. Step inside the **Bird Cage Theatre** — once called "the wildest, wickedest night spot between Basin Street and the Barbary Coast" — still riddled with bullet holes and rumored to be one of America's most haunted buildings. Climb **Boothill Graveyard** to read epitaphs like "Here lies Lester Moore, four slugs from a .44, no Les no more." Tour the **Tombstone Courthouse State Historic Park**, ride a stagecoach, and time your trip for Helldorado Days in October when the whole town dresses in 1880s costume.
