The Arizona Haunted Trail

Arizona's haunted map runs along the routes that built the territory: mining-camp saloons and territorial prisons scattered from the Mexican border to the Colorado Plateau. Bisbee and Tombstone carry the mining-boom weight in the southeast. Flagstaff and Prescott hold the timber-and-railroad north. Phoenix ties the desert basin together, and more than a hundred stops now make up the network statewide. Ghost tours run nightly in half a dozen towns, and old hotels still rent the rooms with the stories attached. One curated loop through the Central Highlands makes the tightest weekend cut if you only have two days.
