Benson is the gateway to Tombstone, Bisbee, Kartchner Caverns, and Chiricahua National Monument. Apache Chief Cochise's stronghold is nearby. Tombstone hosts daily re-creations of the infamous O.K. Corral shoot-out. Tour an old copper mine near the Mexican border in Bisbee, where steep hillside streets and Victorian buildings evoke the mining boom days. Tour Kartchner Caverns and drive or hike past weirdly shaped rock formations in the Chiricahua Mountains.

An event in honor of one of Tombstone's most famous lawmen, Wyatt Earp. Visit Tombstone on Memorial Day Weekend and enjoy the adventures of the Old West with Wyatt Earp Days. This annual Memorial Day weekend celebration in “The Town Too Tough to Die” is much like stepping back in time. Men, women and children dress in 1880s Old West styles to celebrate the life and times of the town's most famous lawman.
