In Arizona, 30 miles south of the Grand Canyon, you can find this touristy ghost town, Bedrock City. It has a tourist shop, theme park, diner, and camping grounds. It is everything Flintstones related. It's pretty much like the cartoon come to life with all of the buildings created from concrete and bright colors!

Take a look around and let those childhood memories flood forward.

Yabba Dabba Doo!

Let's meet the Flintstones!

Fred's Diner can give you a nice cup of joe

The world is full of beauty. These people were lucky enough to be able to capture that beauty and hold on to it for the rest of eternity.

These pictures look too breathtaking to be real, and yet they are. All through finding these photos, I found myself saying "come on!" because I could not believe the stunning surreal beauty that was before me.

Get ready to be blown away by just how magical our world can be...
