Bisbee, Arizona is a town of many hills, and many stairways. In fact they have put together a route through town called the Bisbee 1000. If you follow the map and complete this route, you will have climbed 1000 stairs. I would say that if you really want to see old Bisbee up close and personal, this is the way to do it!
Here are some of the sights along the Bisbee 1000 route.
These are houses that has no street access, no parking near the house, no garage. You have to either climb or descend steps to get to this house from the street.
This map of the Bisbee 1000 route in the main parking lot for the historic district. I had to break it into two pictures to fit it all in.We probably could have picked up a better map at the visitors center, but where’s the adventure in that?
Our attempt at following this map was only 6/8 successful. There are 8 stairways that make up the1000 steps, and after stairway number 6 we were hopelessly lost, not being able to find 7 and 8. We gave it a good effort, and someday it will be our goal to find 7 and 8 and finish this route. To me, this was the perfect way to explore Bisbee. So even though we didn’t quite finish, I consider it a complete success!
