An education around every corner. This museum is immaculately maintained and has wonderful self guided signs throughout. The feeling is cool, quiet and peaceful. They have worked hard to create this space. Plan on spending a couple of hours if you want to stroll through....longer if you want to read every sign. Every question you might have about copper and this museum is answered somewhere within these walls. Loved it! There's few places to eat while in Clarkdale. However we took a stroll around this cute little town. We went back to historic Cottonwood for lunch. There's a lot of places to stop there.

One of only three historic Arizona roads recognized by the State of Arizona, Centered in Clarkdale. US Route 89A is plaqued with a historic 89A sign and the historic portion begins in Cottonwood, Arizona south to Clarkdale, Arizona and ends in Jerome, Arizona. All three towns have historic districts (Old Towns) with the road as its center. Clarkdale features a historic 89A road marker near the center of town, which explains the origins of the road as a trail about 600 years ago.

We took Historic Route 89A on our way up to and from the Grand Canyon. It was a windy road and it was around Labor Day weekend so the road was stop/go all along Oak Creek with people camping and swimming. The road itself had beautiful views bringing you from the high desert to the mountains. Along the way was some vista points which was fun as the Native Americans were selling their beautiful jewelry much to my delight! On the way home we hit some well deserved rain which brought out rainbows in the early evening, it was beautiful! As we got higher on the road we even spotted some elk!
