No telling where Doc Holliday is really buried but the gravestones reveal tales of young children and mothers deaths as well as those from either the civil war or World War One. Short hike up the mountain but may be hard on little ones or those with disabilities. Don't forget to bring a ribbon, pen and paper for the wishing... More

I think this is one of those things you just simply 'do' while you're in the area. Honestly, in the off season there wasn't much to do so we added this to our day. There didn't appear to be an actual parking area, we just had to find a spot in the suburb this is located in. The hike will... More

Aside from there being no public parking for this attraction, this is well worth the visit. I understand that there is uncertainty about his actual burial site, but this does warrant noteriety for being the town of his death. If anything, the beautiful view from the ridge line where the cemetery is located only fuels the legend of "Doc" Holliday.... More

A short hike up the side of a mountain. The trail has some gravel that requires more attention to your steps than a normal walk, Great view of the valley from the grave site about 500 ft above the valley.

I've been up to visit Doc Holliday's grave (he's not there) many times. They've changed the monument (2004?) because the old one had some inaccuracies. The trail is clearly marked and well maintained. I couldn't believe how attractive and clean the whole thing was...and it's free! Kid Curry from the Wild Bunch is buried up there too, but he has...

While it was worth the hike up to the famous cemetery, I was surprised to find that the exact location of Doc Holliday's grave was unknown. It was clear that his body was buried there somewhere, but exactly where is unknown due to the fact that the records of the cemetery were lost in a fire in the building that... More

Decently maintained little hike up to the grave. Had to stop and catch my breath a few times but it's fairly short to travel and a well maintained surface but not shaded until the top. Nice view on the way up. Parking isn't usually a problem on the street at the trailhead. The history group was up there replacing and... More

Great little hike, and very close to town. Trail was snow/ice packed in several places as of early March so suggest yak trax or other traction device. Graveyard was interesting and liked the historical signs. Price is right as well (free).

Quite a hike in the snow but the views of the town are nice. The plaques try to help clear up the mystery about the actual grave site, but there doesn't seem to be an answer.

Be ready for a short 1/2 mile hike. It was fun to see it. Someone had left a small bottle of jack daniels on the grave which was funny to see. Doc Holliday died of consumption.
