The quirky canyon town of Bisbee in southeastern Arizona sits at an elevation of 5,538 feet — making it America's southernmost "mile-high" city.

After copper was discovered in a nearby mine in 1877, Bisbee was incorporated in 1880 and became one of the largest cities in what was then the Arizona territory. By 1900, Bisbee had a population of more than 20,000, but after the mine closed in 1974, the number of residents began to dwindle. Today, the former saloons and inns remain relics of the town's mining past, and locals are careful to preserve them, as well as their tight-knit community of artists and others who prefer the quiet desert scenery of the Mule Mountains. But with a lively downtown of dive bars, galleries, gift shops selling copper-themed trinkets, museums, and Wild West-themed restaurants, Bisbee also offers plenty of appeal as a weekend getaway for history buffs.
