This is a short drive from town and worth seeing in conjunction with the Queen Mine Tour. Nice explanation of the various pits and how the excavation took place.
This was a big round hole with a blood colored lake at the bottom of it....we did not know What there is to do there but we saw no way down to the lake that we could see, maybe put better signgs up to...
Quick road stop. Read the signage, looked at the pit and back on the way. About 5 - 10 min stop. Our big question was : what are those 3 circular, unfinished buildings across the street?
If you're in Bisbee you should take a few minutes to look at this open-pit mine & read the plaques here. Kinda shocking to see the earth so disturbed, but this was the history of mining here.
Why not?
It’s a cool thing to see but then that is it. If you have a few extra minutes why not stop. It’s free so that is the best part about it.
