About
Bisbee
Bisbee is approximately 90 miles southeast
of Tucson in Cochise County.
Founded in 1880, the community began as a mining camp and thrived with
the prolific Queen Mine, which produced nearly three million ounces of
gold and more than eight billion pounds of copper. The town is named
after Judge DeWitt Bisbee, a financial backer of the mine. By the early
1900s, Bisbee was the largest city between St. Louis and San Francisco
with a bustling community of more than 20,000. Production slowed in the
mid-1970s, and a colony of artists settled there and transformed it into
the current creative destination it is.
Art and antiquing are popular pastimes for Bisbee visitors. History
buffs can learn about mining during the Copper Queen Mine Tours given
daily. Nearby, birding opportunities abound in the San Pedro Riparian
Area and in the Mule Mountains.
Generally sunny and mild, Bisbee’s mile-high elevation ensures cooler
temperatures than those in the nearby cities of Tucson and Phoenix.
Average highs in the summer range in the 80s to low-90s, and low
temperatures in winter are typically in the mid-30s. Bisbee’s rainfall
is generally less than 15 inches a year.
With more than 25 hotels, motels, bed & breakfast inns, hostels, RV
parks and campgrounds, Bisbee can accommodate visitors in any style.
