Bisbee is a picturesque small town located about 2 hours from Tucson (97.7 miles via I-10 E and AZ-80 E) on the slopes of the Mule Mountains. The town was founded in 1880 as the result of the rapid growth of the Copper Queen Mine, one of the world’s largest copper mines. After the mine was closed in 1975, the original miners’ Bisbee became Old Bisbee, a popular tourist destination full of quaint old buildings that now host cafés, shops, restaurants, and art galleries.
