如果科罗纳多寻找的是铜而不是黄金，比斯比和杰罗姆就会是幸运的发现了。铜矿吸引了矿业公司和他们需要的劳动力来到这两个丘陵地带。比斯比的人口最多时达到了两万五千，杰罗姆达到了一万五千，但是铜挖完以后，人也走了，现在比斯比的人口下降到了六千八百，杰罗姆只有四百了。当矿关闭以后，每个地方只有不到3%的居民还留在那里。直到人们意识到这些地方很不错，便宜的房子对嬉皮士、艺术家和退休人员很有吸引力，人口才不至于继续下降。
Had Coronado been looking for copper instead of gold, Bisbee and Jerome would have been lucky finds. Copper is what attracted mining companies and the laborers they needed to these two hilly spots. But from a high population mark of 25,000 in Bisbee and 15,000 in Jerome, once the copper ran out, so did the people, such that at present Bisbee the population is down to 6800, Jerome 400. Less than 3% of the residents stayed in each place when the mines closed. It was even less in both until the realization hit that these are pretty places where cheap digs can appeal to hippies, artists, and retirees.

吸引艺术家们的美景也吸引了游客来这两个地方。比斯比是个比较偏僻的地方，所以游客数量只有杰罗姆的三分之一，尽管杰罗姆人口只有比斯比人口的6%。杰罗姆的生死全靠旅游业,他们也成功地生存下来了，一方面是因为附近有高档的度假地，比如克拉克代尔和塞多纳，很多人从凤凰城过来短途旅游。杰罗姆最后的矿山在1953年关闭了，200人一直留在那里，他们中的一些人组建了杰罗姆历史协会，建了一座古雅的博物馆来吸引人们关注它的历史。每年去杰罗姆的游客超过100万，而比斯比只有30万。
Scenic beauty that attracted the activities of artists is what draws tourists to both these places. Bisbee is kind of off the beaten track, and so gets only about a third as many tourists as Jerome, even though Jerome’s population is only about 6 % of Bisbee’s. Jerome lives or dies by tourism, and has managed to survive partly because of being near to upscale cool getaways from Phoenix like Clarkdale and Sedona, and because when Jerome’s last mines closed in 1953, some of the 200 remaining die-hards formed the Jerome Historical Society to call attention to its history with a museum and its quaint appearance. Tourists to Jerome number over a million a year, versus Bisbee’s 300,000.

从阿科桑提沿17号州际公路向北走，一段时间后你会到达AZ260公路。但是在继续向西去杰罗姆之前，再走大约4英里到蒙特祖玛城堡，去看看印第安人是如何在悬崖上建造公寓的。如果你不打算去查科峡谷，这绝对是值得的。然后向南返回AZ260公路，然后向西前往AZ89A公路，穿过克拉克代尔到达杰罗姆。接下来当你爬上陡峭的斜坡时就到那里了,到时注意一下你左手边的房屋,住宿和餐馆,接下来就很快到杰罗姆的中心了，那里有画廊等。中心很小，所以在任何地方停车你都会处于中心位置。如果你想去看看以前的居民为了用铜线或类似的东西照亮夜晚而在地上挖出的洞，找个人问一下就知道了。
Heading north on I-17 from Arcosanti, the road you get to after awhile is AZ260. But before heading west on it towards Jerome, go about another 4 miles to Montezuma Castle to see how the Indians built an apartment building into a cliff. This is definitely worth it if you don't plan on going to Chaco Canyon. Then head back south to AZ260 and then head west to AZ89A that takes you through Clarkdale to Jerome. You'll know you're there when you go up a steep incline noting homes, lodging and eateries on your left, and very soon the heart of Jerome with its galleries etc. The heart is small, so stopping anywhere will put you in the center of things. If you must see the gouges in the earth that previous residents labored to create for the sake of lighting up the night with copper wire and such, ask someone to point.

从杰罗姆到峡谷最美的方式是回到AZ89A公路，去塞多纳艺术户外咖啡馆等待。欣赏了红色的岩石，参观了你喜欢的艺术长廊以后,如果天气热，而你又不想穿过大峡谷去科罗拉多河的话，你可以继续走AZ89A公路往北去倾斜岩石，那可是去凉快一下的好地方。在那里你可以享受一下坐着漂流而下，让自己的身体与大自然同步。因此，你要做好充分准备，沿着AZ89A公路走一段持续陡峭蜿蜒的路去17号州际公路，最终到达弗拉格斯塔夫。
The most beautiful way to the Canyon from Jerome is to backtrack on AZ89A to Sedona where artsy outdoor cafes await. Having been charmed by the red rocks and all the gallery-going you require, if it's a hot day and especially if you don't intend to penetrate the Grand Canyon all the way to the Colorado River, proceeding farther north on AZ89A to slide rock is your special chance to cool off. Here you can have the fun of literally sitting down in the stream on slide rock and letting it carry your body till you’re in sync with nature. You will thus be well prepared for the steep winding continuation of AZ89A to I-17 and ultimately Flagstaff.

从弗拉格斯塔夫到峡谷最快的路径是走40号州际公路从西到北去亚利桑那64号公路，这样你就可以一直向北到达峡谷入口。但是如果你有时间兜一圈的话,你可以从弗拉格斯塔夫一直往北经过89号公路，去160号公路，往东到图巴市去看看火星是什么样子的,然后掉头，经过89号公路到亚利桑那64号公路的西面,这样的话当你开车到峡谷的东部入口时，可以去看看一路上印第安人在路边售卖的东西。
The quickest way to the Canyon from "Flag" is to jump on I-40 west to north on Arizona 64 that zooms you straight north to a Canyon entrance. But if you've got a little extra time for a detour, instead keep going north from Flag via US 89 that takes you to US 160 east to Tuba City to see what Mars looks like to the NASAnauts, then hang a U back down via US 89 to Arizona 64 west so that as you drive to the east entrance to the Canyon you can check out what the Indians have for sale by the roadside along the way.
