Beautiful downtown Bisbee sits amid the picturesque hills of southern Arizona. The town of Bisbee was once one of the state s most bustling mining towns. In fact, by the early 1900s Bisbee was the biggest city between St. Louis and San Francisco, boasting a population of 20,000 in its hilly homes. Today, Bisbee remains an experience. With its collection of artists and characters, the town has become a sort of pilgrimage for Tucsonans who visit for its beloved events, cool weather and funky vibes. For those seeking a little adventure in the form of historic bars, unexpected conversations and lots of antique shopping, it s the perfect place for a day trip or weekend away from the fast lane.
