16 Revisit the past in Bisbee

In the southeast of Arizona lays another historic copper-mining town called Bisbee. Set amongst the Mule Mountains, this little town now offers tours through its Queen Mine, along with plenty of museums to help you appreciate the rich history. To understand its past, visit the Lavender Pit to see how mining can damage a mountain, and stop by Erie Street, which is perfectly preserved to make it feel like you're stepping back in time.

Bisbee is also famously haunted, so while you're there, be sure to hop on a nighttime ghost tour — if you dare.
