Bisbee stacks its Victorian houses up the hillsides of a former copper camp in the Mule Mountains, an hour south of Tombstone near the Mexican border. What was once Arizona's third-largest town in the 1910s is now a walkable warren of galleries and cafes, with the Queen Mine Tour still running underground below Main Street.
