We had fun going through the cemetery and reading the headstones. For a 3 dollar donation you receive a brochure that gives a little more information on each of the "residents" of the graveyard. It was interesting and entertaining. It was a long drive off the 10 hwy. The rest of the town was a little hokey. It felt a... More

Boot Hill is right before entering down town Tombstone. Ample parking. Nice gift store. A guide pamphlet can be purchased for $3, however entrance to Boot Hill is free. Many of the markers have been replaced. Concrete side walks wind their way through out. I have taken pictures at dusk where it looked like Christmas lights were on the markers... More

While the inscriptions on the grave markers are informative and unique the absence of the original markers debases the visit somehow. It feels like a trip to one of the boutiques or fake saloons on the main street. More

Fascinating trip back in time to the days of Wyatt Earp. And I thought Washington DC was a dangerous city! Most "residents" of Boot Hill died violently. More

If you've read/watched movies about shoot outs in the wild west, you HAVE to visit here! This is where the dead were laid to rest after the infamous shoot out with the Earps and Doc Holliday! Not to mention, a few of the Chinese that settled this old town. They aren't mentioned much, but they were a big part of... More

Very interested but bring an umbrella for shade. Its too bad they don't know how each person died but they do a great job letting you know most of the graves. More
