Bisbee, Mining town in Cochise County, Arizona, United States
Located at an elevation of 1688 meters in southeastern Arizona, Bisbee sits among the Mule Mountains, 11 miles from the Mexican border point.
The discovery of copper deposits in 1880 led to the establishment of Bisbee, named after Judge DeWitt Bisbee, a financial supporter of the Copper Queen Mine.
The art district of Bisbee features galleries, studios, and performance spaces in restored buildings from the mining era, attracting artists and collectors.
The Queen Mine Tour operates daily, allowing visitors to explore underground tunnels while wearing mining gear and learning about mineral extraction techniques.
The annual Bisbee 1000 Stair Climb competition takes participants through nine staircases across the mountainside, totaling 1034 steps.
