Richard F.

If you want to experience walking in a 40's- 50's Ghost Town, this is it. Erie Street is located in the town of Lowell, AZ just on the other side of Bisbee. When the mining company started digging the Lavender Pit they swallowed up the town except for the main street. It looks like time stood still here. There is a man who owns the garage mid-street and he buys and fixes up the old cars and vehicles that line the street. When you stroll down the street you might even see him working on or under one of them. If you do, stop and have chat with him. He loves to tell stories, especially how he sometimes drives one of them over to Bakersfield to see the drag races. If you are hungry there is the Breakfast Club. They serve very good meals and excellent coffee.

“While you wait for your table at the Bisbee Breakfast Club make sure to walk down Erie St in Lowell for a glimpse into the 1950's.”

Bisbee - Main St by the Copper Queen Library

Bisbee

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.

Tombstone - There are stage coach rides around town

We absolutely had to visit Tombstone while road tripping through the area. This is a great little…read moreold timey town and because we visited during December, it was decorated for Christmas and even had carolers in costume singing on the streets. It definitely makes you feel like you are walking through history. We happened to arrive in the afternoon and spent the first hour or so walking around checking everything out. When we were ready to take a stagecoach ride and do some of the activities like the OK corral, a lot of things were already closing down for the day. I wish we had known that beforehand so that we wouldn't have been such lollygaggers . We did meet a cowboy on the street near the old wild West town who said that Tombstone is a "strange place" that pretty much shuts down by 4:00 p.m.. He said the bars and restaurants would be open until about 8:00 or so and then the town would be totally dead, but that we should definitely return in the morning for the wild West shows and shootouts. We were able to do a couple of things and decided to spend the night, but we were actually able to make a reservation for a different activity in the morning so we headed out. Still we enjoyed our time in Tombstone and definitely recommend a stop here, especially if you're in the area.

A community that has created an amazing experience for tourists…read more Real life characters roam the dirt streets to add ambiance. Take a trolley ride to learn the history. Watch the shoot out at the OK Corral. Enjoy a local brewed beverage.... Sarsaparilla or ale. Enjoy music and a drink on the salons. Shop in the many shops.

Scratched, time-worn religious sculptures stand within the shade of the Congress Street Bridge,…read moreforming a lovely, peaceful sculpture garden. Quite miraculously, they've survived decades of floods, droughts, and vandalism. They exist because during World War I, a man named Felix Lucero lay seriously injured on a battlefield in France. Wounded and in agony, he proposed a deal with God: If he survived, he'd use his natural skills as a sculptor to create religious statues. After returning home from the war, Lucero set about making good on his word. In the late 1930s, he lived in Tucson, Arizona, in a shack beneath a bridge. From there, he began creating beautiful works of art. While in Tucson, Lucero spent years crafting detailed statues of religious figures out of sand and debris from the Santa Cruz River, which he then slathered in a protective coat of plaster. He created iconic Biblical scenes, including the Last Supper, Joseph and Mary, and Jesus on the crucifix. Though Lucero died in 1951, his work is still standing--which is amazing, considering the statues weren't built from lasting materials and have faced frequent vandalism over the years. Many are damaged, but they still stand tall. Dedicated locals have worked to salvage and repair the sculptures after each vandalism incident, and in the 1980s moved them to form this sculpture garden near the very bridge Lucero once lived beneath.

Really cool place! I've never seen anything like it. Lovely to reflect on the life of Jesus here…read moreand see amazing sculpture art.
