A visit to modern day Tombstone, Ariz. is like a step back in time. The western architecture is seen downtown along with wooden walkways and unpaved roads.

Visitors can browse shops with souvenirs and paraphernalia celebrating the west as it was in the 1800s. A museum also highlights the lifestyle and history of Tombstone.

Today, the town is touristy but a fun visit for a day or longer. There is a reenactment of the shootout at the O.K. Corral in addition to carriage rides and other activities.

Editor’s note: Longtime Los Alamos photographer Gary Warren and his wife Marilyn are traveling around the country and he shares his photographs, which appear in the ‘Posts from the Road’ series published in the Sunday edition of the Los Alamos Daily Post.

Doc Hollidays: A stop at Doc Hollidays Saloon was a must for us during our visit. The good news is there was free WiFi at Doc Hollidays … not all parts of the historic district are ‘historic’! Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com

O.K. Corral: A reenactment of the famous shootout at the O.K. Corral is held daily. A fee is required for the reenactment but there are other ‘shootouts’ periodically on the main street. Photo by Gary Warren/ladailypost.com
