Klondyke Arizona: Ghost Town

SouthernArizonaGuide.com
Klondyke Arizona: Restored Cabin of Jeff Power.

Klondyke is a near-ghost town in western Graham County. In the second decade of the 21st century, the only roads out there are still unpaved. The Klondyke cemetery is just southeast of town. There you will find the graves of the Thomas Jefferson “Jeff” Power and his family. Few know the sad story of these […]

In Search of Cliff Dwellings in Turkey Creek Canyon

SouthernArizonaGuide.com
Red car crossing Aravaipa Creek

In March I shared with you our adventure to the West Entrance of Aravaipa Canyon. From Tucson, it took us about 2 hours to get there, the last several miles on a very windy but decent dirt road. The following week we drove to the East Entrance. That adventure took us about 3 hour just […]

Black Hills Back Country Byway

SouthernArizonaGuide.com
Old Safford Bridge built with convict labor over the Gila River on what is now the scenic Black Hills Back Country Byway.

If you love road trips and exploring remote places, Eastern Arizona is a gem. Clifton is the northern entrance to the Black Hills Back Country Byway, a delightful couple-hours drive through the rugged beauty of Greenlee County that takes you from Clifton to Soloman on Hwy 70 near Safford. In … Continue reading

Simpson Hotel Bed & Breakfast – Duncan, AZ: A Lodging Review

SouthernArizonaGuide.com
Simpson Hotel

Duncan, Arizona is small-town Americana. Not much happens here and, from what we could determine, that’s the way most locals want to keep it. Our main reason for coming to Duncan is that it’s close to Clifton, Morenci’, the Black Hills Byway, and the Gila Box.

Things To Do In Graham Country: Roper Lake, Dankworth Ponds, & Discovery Park

SouthernArizonaGuide.com
Roper Lake and Mt. Graham

The area near Safford has several worthwhile things to see and do: Roper Lake State Park, Dankworth Ponds, and Discovery Park. Just to the west of Safford is 10,000 foot-high Mt. Graham. At the top are some of the most powerful telescopes on earth. The road to Mt. Graham is about as steep, narrow, and windy as you’re likely to find in the United States. There’s a nice picnic area about 8 miles up this road from Rt. 191 a few miles south of Safford.

Road Trip – Day 3- Morning; Clifton, Morenci’, Black Hills Country Byway & the Salsa Trail

SouthernArizonaGuide.com
Old Safford Road Bridge

On the third and final day of our Southeastern Arizona adventure, we started early. Deborah Mendelsohn, our Simpson Hotel B&B innkeeper in Duncan, had prepared a delicious take-along breakfast for us the night before. Normally, we would have slept in and enjoyed breakfast with her and the other guests, but we had a lot of […]
