The streets are painted with murals from iconic people such as John Lennon and Mother Theresa, a pop art smoking sock monkey, dia de muertos and policital expressions. There is a sort of shrine set up with Mona Lisa in the middle. I saw something about a bark park, but not in the traditional sense, rather I believe the artist has three dogs that you might see. Every inch makes for some cool photographs. Every second you discover something else. It leaves you in admiration of such creativity. It totally reminded me of the Heidelberg Project in Detroit, but instead of an urban excape it is nesteled in an artist community winding through the mountains. It is a must see!!!

If you've been considering exploring Bisbee- you definitely should. Don't miss out!…read more Our family lives pretty close by so I've been many times. It's an old miner hippie town with lots of little quirky shops, restaurants and oddities. Bisbee is a day trip- maybe a weekend max. It's fairly small, so don't expect to spend a week here as you will run out of things to do! Come on the weekends when the most shops will be open, and pay attention to hours! Most things open at 9/10 and some shops close at 2, so plan accordingly. If you're coming from out of town, consider staying in bisbee and also hitting tombstone and Lowell. Stay in the copper queen hotel or a cute quirky Airbnb. I'd avoid Bisbee Coffee Company and hit Allan & Co instead. Make sure you go to Patisserie Jacqui and Pussy Cat Gelato. Cafe Roka is excellent for a higher end meal. If you love thrifting/antiquing Bisbee, Lowell and Tombstone have tons of great shops. The hotel is BUZZING at night on the weekends when there's live music and it's a hoot. It's a magical place.

We stayed at San Ramon which was nice. We walked Main St at night and during the day, both were beautiful. A must is doing at least some of the 1,000 step challenge, you'll get excellent views from it. And you must eat breakfast at Bisbee Breakfast Club and walk through Lowell as you wait for your table to be ready. Afterwards, walk to Dot's Diner for a float or milkshake, and checkout the Shady Dell.

All the food trucks and stalls are in a different area. Communal tables are set up as well. The lines are long but worth the wait. We got to try a Mexican hot dog with Frito chips on top, killer coffee and a Taiwanese fried chicken cutlet. This was the perfect place for me to buy some souvenirs to bring back. And of course I got some goodies for myself. My son got a small tub of homemade salsa. Tons of booths to explore. I highly recommend. Make sure to wear tons of sunscreen.

The "Ladies of the Night" may come out amongst the tourists with options of many hotels, motels, and Airbnbs around the town all within walking distance! A definite must see and do. Don't be shy, check out this town of history and preservance!

For the 2 hour plus trip we made, I would not go again. We went on Memorial Day and there was not a…read morelot happening. Maybe my expectations were too high. I expected to see what Tombstone may have looked like in the days of Wyatt Earp but with the shops and the changes so you have to pay to see anything, the vibe was just not there. I also expected to see people dressed in period costumes, but nope. Others have commented about how you have to drop $10-$12 to see a gunfight then pay again to see a show, then pay again to see the mine, then pay again to see something else, it adds up quick. And walls were built so you can't see anything without paying. Old Tucson seemed more realistic. Is there anything surviving from the Wyatt Earp days? Maybe, but with fires and renovations over the decades, I'm not sure what. We enjoyed seeing the RoseTree, and the Cowboy Coffee shop and talking to the slacker. (The third brother) The food was good at the saloon. Then we were ready to go.

After scaring away the potential homeless sleeping under the bridge you will arrive upon a plaque with various fun facts describing the massive colony under the bridge. The bat shit crazy part is the fact that you'll definitely either step into bat feces or have them dropped on to you by the flying rodents themselves. Best time to go is about an hour before sunset. The bats typically emerge 45 minutes before sunset.

We explored the grounds and enjoyed the birds. We saw some local wildlife, enjoyed a rain fall, took too many photos. The family has been here taking care of this little slice of Heaven for decades, they know so much about the local ecosystem, wildlife, and the orchard they care for. The apples are fantastic, the birds are plenty, and the whole place is just wonderful. Wether for a day hike, a weekend getaway, or just a stroll I 10/10 recommend visiting. I think the day hike is 5$ and the cabins range in price, ours was 2 bedroom, 1 bath, and a kitchenette with a cozy living room, and was 120$ a night. We obviously stayed another night because the deck of the cabin was literally in the trees. Please please please come support a local family and visit. You surely won't regret it.

So random how we discovered this place on our roadtrip (as it wasn't even planned)! After completing the drive, the visitor center opened up and we were able to go inside for the gift shop and other learnings. So fun!

My family and I took the 8 mile drive on a Saturday afternoon over a span of about three hours, we stopped at many of the pullouts for a bit of exploring and photography. The entrance cost is $20 for a regular vehicle and an annual pass is $80, pricing varies for large groups and tours. I highly recommend a stop and short climb at Javelina Rock, although we didn't encounter any javelinas, the view was one of our favorites from the drive. The visitor center also has a fun gift shop you shouldn't miss! Can't wait to visit again when I have more time for hiking and exploration.
