- Опубліковано 6 сер 2020
- In this virtual tour we explore Bisbee Arizona. A former Arizona boomtown Bisbee is located up in the Mule Mountains sitting at a Mile high. Bisbee likes to boast that it has the best year round climate in the world. With temperatures averaging in the 50's and 60's in the winter with occasional snow and the high 80's to low 90's in the summer months. Originally settled for its precious metals Bisbee was one of the largest towns in early Arizona established in 1880. Today Bisbee is better known as a tourist destination with the Copper Queen mine and also having one of the oldest active baseball fields. Bisbee is considered one of Arizona ghost towns by some.

Living in Arizona is quite a unique experience because of the vastness that the state offers. From the Sonoran Desert in the south to the high country in the north all the way up towards the Four Corners east and the Grand Canyon in the west. Known as the Grand Canyon state, Arizona is diverse in many ways. The state tree is the Palo Verde, the state cactus is the Saguaro, the state bird is the Cactus wren.

If you ever visit Bisbee again; be sure and go to the Catholic Church up on the hill, just to see the stain glass that was imported from Italy, and insured for over a million dollars. The most intense blues in glass that I have ever seen. Worth a trip to see.
I agree. I was just in town and walked up to the church. The Stainglass windows are absolutely gorgeous.
Mark, thanks. I'll check it out. I'm within 20 minutes of it for a couple more months.
I love Bisbee ... born and raised.
Omg! I need to visit Bisbee. Thank you for showing this.
We were Bisbee tourists 3-4-5 times a year for a while, finally decided to move from metro Phoenix to nearby Hereford, about 20 miles west of Bisbee. Built a new home on 4 acres for dirt cheap, been here 3 years now, love the area.
Nice! You still liking it? I am thinking of moving to Bisbee (or somewhere nearby) because of how cheap it is right now.
Spent a winter and a summer in Bisbee and I wish I could move there, it's the best place in Arizona
What makes you say that? I'll be down in that area for 6 months. Is there a lot of outdoors stuff to do?
I was just there for a long weekend and couldn’t agree more. I immediately started looking for a small place to purchase. Unfortunately there isn’t much that doesn’t require a lot of remodeling. It’s such a beautiful and quaint little town. It was completely unexpected.
Muy bello pueblo yo vivo en Mexico a 30 minutos de Bisbe y cada que puedo voy para allá me encanta caminar en el pueblo
You need to go IN the mine! It's FANTASTIC!
I must go back and go in the mine. 👍
The only place I ever lived where I could watch a lightening strike in a snow storm. It's awesome at night.
Bisbee is a hell. It's in the ditch, beside the hole. And nothing else.
@@jasonbourne1518 true
Also, spend the night at the Copper Queen Hotel and go on the all-night ghost hunt! A blast!!
Cool
I lived there in the 80s it was the best place ever...for ex cons and artists....yay
We've gone to Bisbee several times staying at the Copper Queen Hotel. Great time eating and visiting the plentiful shops. Visit Lowell right next door!
I just boight the house with the yellow railing at 2:15. Great video, shows a lot!
Hermoso pueblo, lo extrañó es la falta de personas, pero se encuentra muy bien cuidado. Te felicito por el video. Saludos de Chile 🇨🇱🗿
I've been to temuco chile
When in Bisbee, visit Cafe Roka. Best restaurant in town.
Wow, that was a lot better town than I thought it was. I'd live there in a minute.
Love it, thx Jeff
I was in Bisbee when they last had the steep downhill go-cart rides in the early 80's. One go-cart lost control near the finish and fatally hit a woman and her child. I lived in Sierra Vista at the time. Those were different times as the population of the entire state just broke 1 million. It was still the wild west.
I left Arizona back in 84 after living there for 20 years. It is nice to see you post these trips as I can still remember the nature around those area's. Keep doing these please.
I live in bisbee and I love it. I live on the vists in Warren. It is kind of weird to see an area in a youtube video that is so familiar to me and that I have lived in for all my life.
Very nice, thank you...there's also the famous and beautiful Copper Queen hotel...Bisbee brewery is fun stop too...Queen's mine tour is so much fun and educational.... Bisbee and Tombstone are top places to take my visitors...and a day trip drive up Mt. Lemmon...so much in AZ !
Love the old architecture and the history . Great upload . Thanks for sharing
My mother and father have been there but I haven't yet. Some day I would like to see Bisbee after all it is named after a family member. During this pandemic I hope all of you are safe and well, God's blessing's to one and all
If you really want to see a copper mine, take a trip to Morenci. The Freeport-MacMoran mine is I believe the 2nd or 3rd largest mine in the world. I worked up there for awhile, it is indeed a labyrinth of many miles.
We love this little town so much we got married there a year ago. My Nana was born and raised there and has some of the most incredible stories! We would love to have a place here to spend part of the year! For now, we travel :)

Went there back in 2014 to see a healer for my Wife. It is a unique town and I stayed at an B&B which was a school about 100 years ago. Saw things at night which freaked me out(Ghost?). I also took a chance and crossed into Naco Mexico when I was there. I will stick with the White Mountain of NH and the small Coastal towns of Florida ( Amelia Island and Crystal River) for more my enjoyment. Thanks for the video.
Excellent video
Thanks for another interesting drive!👌
Hello, Thanks for the video. I use to travel Southern Arizona with my work at the time and spent many hours in Bisbee. One item that you do not mention is that originally Bisbee was (I think) 5 different towns that surrounded the large copper pits. When the city of Bisbee was formed it was formed by the consolidation of these various towns. This explains the narrow winding streets and how they are all interconnected. Thanks again. JRS
John Spurr thank you for sharing that history with us.
I was born in Bisbee. Copper mine produced Bisbee Blue turquoise. Very rare today.
Paradise
Beautiful town!
Great Video! I am from Phoenix, AZ born and raised, never been to any of the smaller towns in the state. Thank you for an great view of Bisbee, AZ...
Loved it
I was there in 2007, cool place. The mine is great. Gets very cold in there! 🥶
I love how it looks sort of tropical, mostly because of how green it is, it looks more like Mexico than other parts of Arizona
I agree. Is Arizona's Pueblo Mágico
It WAS Mexico when my family first moved there from Rayón, Sonora. So beautiful. :^)
Fun, thanks!
Very historical/western look! Great ride!
Nice little unique town, with varied architecture and pleasant winding streets (although the roads need a blacktop resurface). 😆 👍🏻
tru, that has happened quite a bit the last year.
Cool city -- abysmal roads!
wow, this is amazing
I'm in Tucson. Gotta visit Bisbee!
Kinda eerie though. NO People!
@FTW 111 Well, when the COOLS a bit I'll take the ride. AFTER ALL, with the heat, and this COVID stuff I got to get OUT!
Totally agree. Bisbee has a really eerie vibe to it.
My ex second boyfriend last name is Bisbee cause that his last name and he used to live in Arizona Bisbee and moved to Indiana Greensburg
@@RadianceRush Yea, it’s pretty dark.
you might have convinced me to move there....i must visit
I was told cost is high and hard to find a rental in/near town..
@@SK-me9by no
@@SK-me9by plus services are seriously lacking you can't even find a UPS store in that City that's pretty bad
Also, if you don't pay your sewage or are very late with your fees, they have the right to confiscate your house. Police corruption is high. For decades, the police have been involved in drug dealing, assaulting men women and children, including murder. Crime rate is also very high. If a crime happens, most of the time people do not call the police. Don't move to Bisbee.
@@ManuelRamirez-nf7wk sounds like a same issue with Wyatt Earp and tombstone which is up the road from you
Beautiful.
Good video, interesting n the mine awesome. 👍
Bisbee is so much fun! Great video
My grandfather's hometown. Would love to go visit again.
Thanks for the reminder to go visit Bisbee. My maternal grandfather started his teaching career there a century ago, and I have always intended to visit & explore the area. Regrettably, the stereopticon slides he had from when he lived there died in a fire when my uncle's house burned to the ground in the '90s [Gramps died mid-80s...]
Beautiful drone footage...enjoyed the video
Looks like a fun little town
History is heat and the walking all the stairs in town is exciting.
History is the best.
Used to go there on my weekends when I was in the army
Visiting there was awesome loved the atmosphere it was like pumping back in time, got the biggest antics storehouse I ever saw 3 story's I believe, the mind was cool. If visit it you will not be disappointed.
Great video! I'm glad y'all finally did tour videos here in Cochise County/southeastern Arizona! I hope more video tours are on the way and if you haven't been yet or if you haven't done tours of the following towns Irecommend doing tours of Benson, J6 Ranch, Mescal, Pomerene, Saint David, Sierra Vista, Hereford, Douglas and the Elfrida/Sunsites area.
This is cool
Just showed this to my best bud, Jimmy, who grew up in Bisbee a little over 40 years ago. He was giving me a tour within your tour, pointing out the library, where J.C. Penny's used to be, etc. His dad worked in the pit you showed near the end too. Anyway, appreciated!
i moved to Bisbee a wile back and its really fun and i think more people should move there or visit!, its really fun and i think it should get more people to care about it.
Its history is very good and i think there is mine tours!
am currently oversea but be back soon...thanks so much, i seriously looking in Bisbee area...thank you
I’m just watching this because Doug Stanhope always talks about Bisbee. It looks beautiful.
I have seen the name of this town many times in movies of the old west and in history books of the old west and in cowboy series
I love Bisbee! Lowell is also great.
Warren!
I visited Sierra Vista to see my brother but didn't have enough time to get to Bisbee which is just a short drive away. It looks like a very colorful town to live in, yet a kind of laidback place also.
We live pretty close. Try the Screaming Banshee Pizza place. It’s great! St Elmos Bar is also really cool. I love the Artsy Fartsiness of Bisbee. ❤️😊 Such a wonderful mountain community.
Thank u
nice place to go postal
i have to get the courage to fly to Arizona never traveled alone before
Been there a couple of times. I like it. An old hippy town, with lots of character. Not too hot in the summer as the elevation is over 5000 feet. The locals told me the population has been declining. It has a climate similar to Prescott. There is a building there that has a water well in it. I think it's really old.
Castlerock Inn. Very cool place to stay. Don't expect pampering luxury, just a really cool old miners lodging house!
Bisbee is very cool and super nostalgic BUT don’t be there after dark...the hills have eyes people will start to crawl out...trust me...
And this is the only honest review of bisbee. I worked there with the mine a while. It's a disgusting armpit of a town devastated with hard drugs everywhere you turn
Reminds me of Virginia City Nevada😉
Very nice tour. Hope the business are surviving through this pandemic.
Sadly, no footage of the Doug Stanhope fun house.
Lol all I was waiting for.
@@Killacorn isn't that what your ex-wife use to tell you
I know all about that place. Tombstone to Bisbee to work in the mines.
I visited my brother who lives in Sierra Vista, only a short drive away from Bisbee but didn't get the time to visit this town.It seems like a colorful town filled with artists yet looks like a pretty laidback place to settle down. My brother and his wife stayed overnight there but said a lot of places were closed because of Covid. Great shot at 5:13 of that Grey Honda Element it looks like mine! Oh that's right, they did make them on assembly lines didn't they?
I missed, and you certainly did too, any mention or even view of one of Bisbee's best known landmarks, the Copper Queen Hotel. Shame - a must for any visitor! Also, you might have admitted that Bisbee has the most colorful collection of humans to be found on Earth. Otherwise a fairly commprehensive view of the village. My favorite place to visit in Arizona - a neighbor from New Mexico.
Been there back in the 70es it was not as populated back then lot of hippies
Same here lots of good time's
I think you’re thinking of Jerome Arizona because there was a lot of hippies back then in the 70s I don’t think as much is in Bisby don’t remember the hippies in Bisby
The Letson Loft Hotel was the Casteneda/Goldwater Mercantile, where the Bisbee Massecre took place. Look that up! Old West violence in Bisbee! Where the open pit is, the homes of Lowell stood.
Going there after Thanksgiving
Jeff did you read my mind! I've been looking at Bisbee to live. I heard it's an ole hippie town and people are real & friendly, is that true?
The older people are friendly that younger people are liberal and not so friendly I've looked into this a few years back before this covid-19 situation and the services I am used to well let me put it to you this way you can't even find a UPS Store there that's not good
It's in the ditch, beside the hole...and that's it. Not a bad place to visit, hell to call home, unless you have a meth addiction.
@@jasonbourne1518 seriously?
@@sitdowndogbreath 100%. Made a fool's mistake of moving there on a whim. The sunny side of the ditch is infested with scorpions, the shady side with roaches. The residents have some strange sense of themselves, likely induced by meth and LSD. There's one grocery, Safeway, that might as well be a Circle K. The cartel positions "crows" with burner phones all over town, especially on streets with a vantage point. The police are corrupt (cartel and human trafficking money), and the best restaurant is a hot dog joint outside of town.
@@jasonbourne1518 Jimmy hot dog stand are people being kidnapped in that town or human trafficking through the town what kind of scorpions you guys have and are they guaranteed to be inside the house let me guess the bark scorpion that little fucker can put you in the hospital I remember the 7-Eleven is it still there I know no jobs there except pumping gas I know the population has gone down as well since I've last been there 20 years ago
Thank you, brilliant Jeff! When r u doing Show Low?, we are thinking of summering there and we have yet to visit
After driving through show low last month we bought land to retire on there. We can't wait!
R Waggoner thank you very much for your post. A friend informed us that he takes his trailer to Show Low, and loves it. We will visit this year and stay in Show Low next year, hopefully. All the best with your retirement 😍
@@PaulSlade1 Make sure to check out Pinetop next door like 10 minutes away- that's where I got married! I live in Gilbert now!
Thank you, we will checkout Pinetop
Bisbee right near the border of Mexico. That's another highlight a traveling to another country.
The camera acts as the 3rd eye so instead of just angling straight in all your shots, actually fil the stores and buildings you’re passing. As a passenger you don’t just look straight ahead especially if you’re walking. Also why does it still bob up and down? You passed interesting stores but didn’t stop to show or allow us to take it in. Either way, videos are improving. Thanks for sharing with us.
There is so much to see and talk about here it is hard to give it all a fair shake. We love it here and actually got married here last year. My (Jesse) Nana was born and raised in Bisbee and has some amazing stories. We'll have to go back and do atour with her someday soon.
Thinking of moving there in the future to help with my chronic spine pains. I love my native Nevada but it gets too cold in the winter for me
Bisbee got 1' of snow less week. You do know that Bisbee is over 5500' don't you?
Where's Stanhope's compound?
It's in the Warren district, in the hills above Arizona Street. Speaking of, Mornings Cafe on Arizona is fantastic.
That was a legit Phone Booth at 4:19
My ex second boyfriend got his last name which is Bisbee which is cool and now he’s still lives in Indiana Greensburg
They brought in way to many trees . The desert is supposed to be dry and brown, that's normal. My allergies would go crazy there.
I live there
Yes I liked it. I did mute the drumming.
Lived there and loved it. 1977-1981. Back then I called Bisbee the town where freaks settle down.
2015 looked into buying a house there. NOT THE SAME TOWN !!!
Seemed full of angry lesbians..............shallow, lost vibes.
How is Bisbee on a Sunday? Are things open? I know small towns can have a lot of things closed on Sundays.
Looks like some stuff is open or more closed?
I was also thinking it looks like Italy. I think you just showed me my vacation spot. Thanks!
When alot of the city was being built by the owners of the mine, they hired mostly Italian architects. In fact the Copper Queen Hotel is completely Italian.
Don't take a long vacation!
@@charlessupplee2655 lol, your right. Yo can see everything there is to see in about a week or less.
Maybe a day. With the covid BS the bars are closed: that's half the town!!! LOL!!
1:05 yes second to SoCal hahaha
Did you get to say hi to Doug Stanhope?? He is one of my fav comedians...he lives there👍
Great channel. Please Make More. 👌🏼😍
Greetings from Albania. 👋🏼 🇦🇱
Also, Let’s build each other Up. 🤝
Looks very quiet
I think it has a ton of potential - but it doesnt look like the town puts money into it's basic infrastructure (the streets are broken, peeling and worn paint, traffic poles all deteriorated). Which is a shame because they have a beautiful architecture to preserve.
It appears that the temperature at Bisbee seems to be similar to that of Prescott. Do you agree?
Yes and they are both around 5,000 feet elevation. Bisbee is Southern Arizona and Prescott is Northern Arizona so that different Longitude must play a factor in making Bisbee just a bit warmer.
@@LivinginArizona Actually, Prescott is more Central AZ. Flagstaff and Grand Canyon are Northern. Bisbee is southern AZ-you do understand you were right near the border.
alundrachile wow I misspoke I totally meant southern Arizona. Yes definitely knew I was near the border the BP was all over. Thanks for the correction.
If you’re watching this and plan on visiting Bisbee please don’t support airbnb, stay at a hotel, and please don’t drive 10-15 under the speed limit everywhere you go!
Is there currently a severe outbreak of covid19 in Bisbee?
Very good what kind of camera are you using
IMPORTANT INFORMATION an iPhone camera in 1080p 30 FPS
