Wild West Trips
 Bed and breakfast travelers should prepare to put on their spurs and gallop into the Old West. Not far from downtown Tucson are several historic towns that make you feel like you are walking on to the set of an old Western movie. Once a copper mining town, Bisbee is 90 miles south of Tucson. The restored Main Street boasts an eclectic artist colony, shops, restaurants and charming architecture on the site of the notorious Brewery Gulch, known for its shady ladies and wild saloons.
Close by is Benson, the region's railroad hub during the mining days. There is a preserved, historic downtown area including a restored train depot and it is best known as the home of Kartchner Caverns State Park with its beautiful limestone caves. These exceptional caves are home to unique minerals and calcite formations which continue to awe every bed and breakfast traveler who visit this nature preserve.
If nothing else, bed and breakfast travelers should make the trip to Tombstone, the site of the famous shootout at the O.K. Corral. Not only are there daily reenactments of the shoot-out but you can visit the gunfighters' tombstones at Boothill Graveyard or take a stagecoach ride through the tumbleweeds in town where entertainers in period costumes serve down-home barbecue and ale.
Where else can you experience the thrills of the old Western days better than in Tucson? The Western charm and legends of brave cowboys is what makes Tucson such a unique place to visit for bed and breakfast travelers. After a long day of sightseeing, resort to your Tucson bed and breakfast for a good rest. The adventures of Tucson will continue to surprise you the following day.
