About This Tour
Step into the captivating story of Bisbee, Arizona, a town boldly built into the steep canyons of the Mule Mountains. Once a booming 19th-century copper camp, this rugged outpost grew into a wealthy powerhouse before evolving into the vibrant, eclectic arts enclave you see today. On this self-guided walking tour, trade standard routes for Bisbee’s iconic public stairways and winding hillside streets. Navigating this vertical landscape, you'll uncover hidden architectural gems, quiet neighborhood corners, and industrial remnants from the Copper Queen Mine era that most visitors simply walk right past. Beyond the dramatic scenery, you'll explore a history of staggering wealth and deep divides. Learn how mining empires reshaped the earth, and discover the gripping story of the 1917 Bisbee Deportation—a fierce labor conflict that forever altered the town. Lace up your shoes and experience Bisbee's resilient spirit up close.
