“Queen of the Copper Camps”

Set in the Mule Mountains in Southeast Arizona near the border Bisbee boasts the longest highway tunnel in Arizona and what was (and may still be) the largest open pit mine in the world at 300 acres by 900 feet deep.

The Lowell area of Bisbee is slowly falling in to it.

There are also over 2,000 miles of mining tunnels under and around Bisbee.
