The van slows as the road pinches between weathered brick and rusted mine frames; Jerome’s steep streets rise like a stacked stage, houses leaning toward the cliff as if eavesdropping. On a 90-minute half-walk, half-shuttle tour you move between the town’s sunburnt facades and its quieter, shadowed corners, guided by a local who points out shuttered hospitals, forgotten tunnels and the Territorial Graveyard where stones keep their own counsel.
