July 4th, 2010 by Mike Hug

July brings the monsoons to Southeastern Arizona after the heat up in southwestern and central Arizona.

Tombstone Helldorado Days

June 24th, 2010 by Mike Hug

Are you thinking about attending Helldorado days in Tombstone?

Tombstone’s Helldorado Days dates back to 1929, the 50th anniversary of the founding of the town. There are a lot of activities at the town for the weekend of the 15th to the 17th of October. There is a parade, street entertainment, a carnival and many other things to do. Just looking at all the people that are dressed in period outfits is something to see.

If you look for lodging you will find that many of the hotels and B and B’s in Tombstone are close to being fully booked for this festival. Down By The River B and B is an alternative lodging solution to consider. Down By The River is within 20 minutes of Tombstone in the town of St. David and will allow you to relax from the hustle and  bustle of the day. We will become booked full during this period, so don’t be disappointed and not have anywhere to stay because you tried booking later in September.
