One of many confrontations between Ike Clanton (left) and the Earps prior to the actual Gunfight At The OK Corral.

Conspicuous by its absence, the Gunfight At The O.K. Corral, Tombstone’s most popular attraction, has not graced the pages of Southern Arizona Guide … until now. Why?

At Southern Arizona Guide we have a guiding philosophy.

If we cannot wholeheartedly recommend your establishment or event to our friends & family, we will not include you in our Southern Arizona Guide.

This applies to editorial content as well as advertising. For example, I spend a lot of time trying to explain to restaurant owners and managers why they cannot advertise on our Southern Arizona Guide website. Ours is such a radical publishing philosophy that most initially think I’m kidding.

I mention this now because you will quickly realize how this mindset sometimes causes us some distress. About 3 years ago, while we were preparing Southern Arizona Guide, but before we actually launched the website, we went to Tombstone to gather information for our new section about that historic place. At that time, we attended Tombstone’s most popular attraction: the Gunfight At The OK Corral.
