Don’t get us wrong. We’re not saying the Grand Canyon isn’t a great place to visit. But you haven’t really seen Arizona until you’ve strolled through the jaws of a rattlesnake on Diamondback Bridge in Tucson, or tried to score a hole in one in the vintage outhouse in Jerome, or spent a night in the haunted caboose in Williams. That’s just the beginning of the weird—and fun—side of the state, the side you won’t hear about in most guidebooks. Below you will find links to some of the weirdest stories from Arizona, but remember, the tales on this website are only the tip of the iceberg. To get the full weirdness we recommend you buy Weird Arizona the book...
