jerome az: Arizona Canyon Moon: Exploring the Verde Valley - 01/14/11 10:54 PM

~ Verde Valley Canyon Moon ~
Somewhere between Clarkdale and Perkinsville, AZ

jerome az: Merry Christmas From Arizona's San Francisco! (Peaks, That Is) - 12/25/09 07:07 AM

Merry Christmas!
Tucson isn't known for it's snow-covered scenery, so we took off for a few days to northern Arizona to see what we're missing.  We're staying in Prescott, and the view from our hotel room is a blanket of snow, although the roads are clear.  Yesterday, we drove the scenic route through Jerome, AZ up to Flagstaff, where we were greeted with the snow-capped San Francisco peaks.  We wish you and yours a very merry Christmas!
