Why this plan works

The 3 stops cover about 0.1 miles total, which keeps you in one pocket of Tombstone instead of crossing town between them. The Longhorn Restaurant is the main event and takes the biggest block of time; the other stops are built around it. It finishes at The Longhorn Restaurant — a short, low-effort stop you can skip if you're ready to call it. Best suited to couples, friends, adults, and solo who want a planned Tombstone outing without improvising between stops.
