Recreation
Many people envision an Arizona vacation as relaxing in the sun and maybe playing a round of golf in the vicinity of Phoenix or Tuscson, which happen to be Arizona's two largest cities.
But if you're into history and enjoy traveling just a bit off the beaten path, consider traveling to Cochise County in the southeastern corner of the state.
In many ways, Cochise County embodies what Arizona was all about back when it was a Territory - wide open spaces and a great independent spirit.
The best way to take in Cochise County would be to visit the historic towns of Tombstone, Bisbee and Benson.

Located right off Interstate 10, just 45 miles east of Tucson, is the historic railroad town of Benson. Located in the heart of the San Pedro River Valley, Benson is the home of Kartchner Caverns State Park, a live, wet cave. Back in Territorial days, Benson was a scheduled stop on the Butterfield Overland Stage Coach Route and the Pony Express as well. That, along with the birth of the transcontinental railroad, made Benson a bustling railroad town.
Twenty miles south on US Highway 80 lies the infamous town of Tombstone, the town too tough to die.
Even those that aren't interested in the Old West know that Tombstone was the location of the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral.
Tombstone's main source of income is, you might have guessed, tourism. Allen Street, the town's main thoroughfare, still resembles Tombstone as it was in the 1880s. The walkways beside the storefronts are wooden, and the streets are still unpaved.
