- In this #vanlife video we're giving you a BIG tour of one of our favorite places, #Bisbee Arizona. Wow, did we enjoy visiting what is surely one of the best small towns in the United States. Yep, you heard that right. We'll show you the places we visited, the things we drank, the food we ate, talk about art, live music, and take you on a fantastic hike to the Bisbee Cross Shrine. We'll also show you a fantastic #boondock location called Juniper Flats right outside of town. This is a big one folks, so if you don't want to watch the entire video and would rather jump to any section just use the bookmarks below.

I've lived here in Bisbee for three years. I didn't think I was going to like it, but your video shows why I fell in love with it. You also showed me a lot of stuff that I didn't know it was even here. I'm glad you enjoyed our little hole in the wall. Have a good life.
What a nice comment Greg, thanks so much!
Your town is truly inspiring; I met the coolest people there.
@@JJ-iq5cv thank you, the people are definitely what keeps me here. They're very laid-back and easy to talk to. I should say, I never get used to the natural beauty of it either.
This is my kind of town. 😊
I love Bisbee, been living here off and on for about 25 years. Living here now. A lot art, music, good food, coffee houses, antique malls, etc
Unfortunately housing cost has skyrocketed.
Yeah, housing everywhere is unaffordable now. We’ll probably have to live in our van forever! Thanks for watching.
Just came back from Bisbee - you folks have an amazing town. The people were great, their openness was inspiring, the house next door to my hotel has a huge bomb in the yard and I didn't even notice for 3 days - it's one of the best places I've been.
Another fun video. We love your life and travels.
Thanks guys. Perhaps we’ll see you in CO.
CZcams thought I might like you video and they were right! My aunt lives in Bisbee, my uncle used to work in the mines. It's been awhile since I've been to Bisbee, but I loved it there! I enjoyed seeing some old and new places in your video!
I guess you have to go back. I’m sure we will. Thanks for watcing.
Hahaha the sound of no other people seems to bring a smile to your face 😀… nice overview of Bisbee…I especially like the cheeky remarks about the yacht! I plan on stopping there one day… thanks for the introduction
Thanks as always for watvhing and commenting, we really appreciate it. Thought you’d dig the surprise shout out 😉
And yes, the sound of no other people is my favorite spund in the world.
I live here in bisbee it’s so nice
Lucky you! It’s very sweet.
Great review of our hometown, I'm by the Warren ballpark and Vista park. We have farmers markets and live music in the park on Saturdays. 4th of July parade and fireworks in Warren district of Bisbee too.
Nice! Thanks for the additional info!
Brings back lots of memories. Me and my siblings ran up and down a lot of those steps. On ok street is where my grandparents lived and where grandpa worked the copper mine. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the firsthand account. Makes things more interesting. Do you still live there?
My best friend when I lived in Sacramento, Art Valencia, was from Bisbee. I remember him always talking about his family who worked in those copper mines. Art was a good friend and great pool player. I really miss those days playing pool with him, he taught me a lot about the game. Hope to visit there someday.
Truly enjoyed your tour of Bisbee. Glenn and Nita, you are both so "natural" on these travel logs, it's like I'm hanging out with you! Rock on!...glad you had a fun 4/20 ;)
Thanks as always Ken. We’d really like to get back wast one if these days so we could see you. We’ll keep in touch.
My dad worked that mine and is still alive to talk about it, he is 97 and born in Douglas Arizona.
I’ll bet he has some amazing stories to tell. Does he live in Bisbee? I’d love to interview him if I’m in Bisbee again.
First time i ever heard of Bisbee was in a movie called L.A. Confidential one of the main characters was from there i didn't know it was a actual town.
Yep. It’s real and pretty cool.
My dad was born in Bisbee! In fact my Uncle John was the Judge at the Lowell Court house and his name is still there! John Sharpe was my favorite uncle on my dads side! I loved Bisbee as a kid. All the Sharpe’s are buried in the cemetery there, but my Dad, Art Sharpe was the baby and he’s the only one not buried there. I remember my cousin and I going up Brewery gulch in my Uncle John’s sheriffs car and she had to back down and she hit every trash can on the gulch! My grandmas house was in south Bisbee and belonged to Phelps Dodge mining company. I still have her Bakers Cabinet with the flour sifter and dough board! What a treasure.. thanks for the beautiful memories.. my grandpa worked for PD!
Wow what an interesting perspective! Thanks so much ch for sharing.
If you loved it as a kid....
Gow where the schools? I'm looking to move and love areas like this but I need good schools for my kids. Ofcourse things changed since your time. But just need some advise.
Incredible video! I love Bisbee! I go there often, but has no idea about some of the places you showed…definitely going to head back next week and explore a lot more! Thank you so much! Great job and I’m for sure subscribing to your channel…you seem like great people!
Wow that was nice of you, thank you! Go to Sam and Poe’s and tell them Glenn and Nita sent you. They’re wonderful people and great artists. Thanks for watching.
Fantastic video guys, you did a great job of sharing helpful info about Bisbee! I live in Tucson and visit Bisbee fairly often, in fact I'm there right now! Thank you and happy, safe travels to you both!
Awesome! I’d love to say “wish we were there” excepting we’re in Baja right now
Excellent video, More Bar, more drink, more walk, more arts, more foods
Glad to see Bisbee is still great. I miss living there. Visiting soon.
I don’t know what it was like before but it certainly seems like a great place to me. Thanks for watching.
Me encantaría conocer bisbee
Thanks for the tour, I'v never made it there.
Its a cool place. Thanks for watching
Bisbee is a great place. A nexus of synchronicity and people who wave & say hi when you pass them on the street.
Yes it is. Are you from Bisbee? You’ve obviously been there 😉
@@CubbyVanLife I live in Tucson. My bf and I like to stay the night every few months. It's a dream spot...would love to find a place to buy one day....maybe....
I was born in in Bisbee!!! Now I live in AR. I loved Bisbee!!
i am watching you from istanbul. best regards and greetings ❤🌷
Love Instanbul!!! Especially the gresh fish and stuffed mussels on the street. Is it still awesome?
Great video, I’ve been to Bisbee lots, you did a good job of showing how fun it is. 😊
Thank you so much!!
Well done video- thank you. I'm from Bisbee, but haven't been able to get back for some time. Appreciate the walkthrough. Used to say there was a large, magnet buried under the city which made it hard to leave (younger), but it also has the opposite, repulsive effect of getting back there (older). lol
Nice. Interesting perspective. I’m sure it’s very very different growing up there…and returning. Thanks for watching.
Planning a trip Mid May, this is the BEST video I have seen on the area. Thank you. I hadn't considered a night walk, now I can't imagine not doing it.
Yeah it’s really great at night. We weren’t there on a weekend so not sure what that would be like.
I've never been out west. I really enjoyed this video! Safe travels...
Gotta put the southwest on ypir agenda..
You made my day, maybe my week. When I lived in Tucson, Bisbee was my escape. I fell in love with this wonderful town. The stairs, the food, the saloons, the people. Though I've been there many times, I was never able to get to the crosses at the top. Thanks for going up there. If you ever go back, be sure to see Pioneer Cemetery, which is very near The Shady Dell Trailer Park. Lots of history there. And, the Vista Park area is fascinating, too. I'm so glad you discovered Jimmy's. Isn't that place the best? They used to have a punch card - if you ate 10 hot dogs there, you'd get one free. Glenn would be in heaven.
Thanks for showing Bisbee at night - I have never been there at night. It looks so peaceful. Thanks for the adventure. Keep roamin', Nita and Glenn. This was a wonderful video.
What a great comment John thanks so much! And thanks for the insight as well. It’ll come in handy next time we visit. Btw, our next big video will be Sedona then we’ll be doing a video on New Mexico. Wait’ll you see the Dog House (from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul) in Albuquerque. It’s my favorite hot dog place ever!
Oh yeah, we planned on the Pioneer Cemetery, that’s how we discovered Shady Dell, but there are big signs saying no dogs. It was too hot to leave Charlie in the van.
Fascinating! Thank you for sharing these experiences.
Hey Brain, great to hear from you! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks for the visit! Glad you enjoyed our town 🤓
Absolutely! Thanks for watching.
Keep safe patriots!!! Keep living life...
Thanks for the info, appreciate.... Have fun
Thanks for watching!
Crazy cool video ty❤
Thanks for watching!
Loved the video! ❤😊 Very insightful. Cant wait to make my way there!
Love your videos 😍 great scenery, information, and humor! Awesome 👍
Thanks Melanie!!
My Grandfather was a dynomite blaster in the Copper Mine over there.
Wow! That’s amazing!
@@CubbyVanLife thank you for the video
@@lgnrome thank YOU for watching 😉👍
Very European but where is the people not get me around the town is nice to visit that's all
This is the best video on Bisbee, I've seen. Thank you I really enjoyed all the information. Subscribed!!!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!
Que linda pareja son, se ve que se la llevan muy bien, felicidades.
Gracias!
You did a great job on the video. After traveling in our motorhome for several years we ended up buying a miners shack in Bisbee.
Wow! Seriously? That sounds fantastic! If we’re ever through there again can we see it?
@@CubbyVanLife Yes send us a message next time you come through.
What is a Miner's shack?
one of the best travelogues I have seen, you 2 are the best!
Wow! Thank you so very much! Glad you enjoyed it
Awesome video 👍
Thank you for watching and commenting.
Well done❤️
Thanks for watching and commenting Joe. Hope all is well.
This summer I'm moving there from South East Louisiana. Can't wait to see y'all, and the cool people that live there.. Be nice to get away from 50000+ people.
I’m sure you’ll love it.
We are getting ready we live in Michigan getting ready to go on a two and a half week vacation to tour Arizona the Sierra Vista bisbee area and we are going to be retiring this summer to that area so we wanted to go check it out and we are in love with bisbee and I really loved your video I had a lot of good information
Thanks very much, sounds exciting! We retired last year…to our van. Right now we’re at Roosevelt Lake outside Phoenix. You should definitely check it out on your way down. Btw, we love the UP! Yuppers!
You might just love it down there. Bisbee/Tombstone/Willcox/Sonoita is a big wine country too, something people don't talk about much but they produce award-winning wines. The climate is insanely moderate down there too, a little bit of all 4 seasons but no extremes at all.
Cool information
Oh dear. Art.
Lived in Bisbee, AZ way back when for 2 years, attended Lowell Elementary 4th and 5th grade. My sister and I had t-shirts that said "Where the *%$# is Bisbee?" Because it was not on the map! My dad was stationed at Ft. Huachuca (spelling,...I was only 10-years-old!) in Sierra Vista. My mom worked as a Real Estate assistant in downtown Bisbee. We lived in a small house at the top of the hill where the Copper Man stood. (Still waiting to see if any visitor gets a pic of him!) So many great memories, and era of Return of the Jedi, Footloose, and E.T. ! Lots of walking (those stairs and that pit!) and dirt biking! It was great to revisit fond childhood memories via your travels! Thank you for sharing!
Wow thanks for the great personal history. I could take all of these interesting comments and put together a first person history of Bisbee! Thanks for sharing.
New subscriber! Awesome tour, you made me see Arizona in a whole new way.
Thanks, glad you liked it!
wow, nice work CZcams on the recommend. Had Bisbee pinned on my map before crossing into MEX by bike. More funk than I expected to see. Prefer Sprinter but RAM will do.
Enjoy Bisbee if you get there. It’s a great place.
very place I would like to go
Then make it a plan! It is very nice. Thanks for watching!
Well ~~~ I’ve always wanted to visit BISBEE and after watching your video I’m SOLD !!
Oh my goodness … there’s SO MUCH MORE there to see and do … had no idea … so thank you for sharing your adventure all over and around BISBEE !
What a unique place w/ so much to see and enjoy . ART ! MUSIC ! Hiking ! Cool bars & restaurants & hotels !
WOW 🤩 is all I can say . I live in Az up in SURPRISE …. So I must put this at the top of my list of places to see soon THANK YOU & safe travels . ⭐️
Thanks so mich Stan! I hope you go and enjoy as much as we did!
Well ~~ I must say you both made it look so incredible ~~ I couldn’t live up to your great “ tour “ & adventure 😄 but I have to say Thank You once more for sharing all of the great things there in a Bisbee and surrounding community !! ⭐️
PS ~~~ CHARLIE is so awesome ⭐️🦮
I wish I could go back ! I have family still there. We had to leave because mines closed down.
Maybe a visit sometime.
My funny friend Doug live there
Great video. We hope to go visit this winter. P.S. I chatted with you in the Orr, MN park on Pelican Lake a few weeks ago and I am enjoying your videos. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay in Northern MN!
Hey Paul thanks for the nice comment! Hey, Nita said I should have told you about Silver City in New Mexico when you asked where to go for the winter. It’s near “the Gila,” Gila National forest and Cliff Dwellings national park. Sorry we don’t have a video on that yet but do some research. We think you’d like it!
Btw, we’re still in MN. We’re currently in one of our favorite small towns in America, Two Harbors on the north shore.
@@CubbyVanLife Excellent. Great to hear. Hopefully you have been up to Grand Marais too, another beautfil north shore town.
Bisbee is great, been there many times to visit, not sure though If i would ever want to live there full time however...(i.e. what to do for work and a well paying job?)....
Im retired so work isn’t an issue. Lack of water is though. If Bisbee had a river running through it it might be perfect.
@@CubbyVanLife agreed, it would and is PERFECT for those who are retired or those who freelance and can work anywhere...
Hi Glenn and Nita! Met you in Sedona 2 years ago. Love your channels. I am in Bisbee! Wondering where you were able to boon dock. Cheers!
Hi Rosemary, nice to hear from you. Have you watched our Sedona video? It’s by far our most popular video. The Boondock location in Bisbee is in the video, I don’t remember exactly where, but you can find it on iOverlander.
@@CubbyVanLife I did watch the Sedona video but must have missed that part however I did find the spot with the help of the visitor center. Looks like you’re enjoying the Harvest Host route! I look forward to your next video 😀
Honestly the best video on Brisbee I have ever watched! I personally hate people spray painting walls etc. But still outstanding video! Does one of you have a video background?
Rhanks for the kind words Steve. I too dislike illegal graffiti and said so it n the video but I think I edited that out. However this graffiti only seems to be in this one lot, not all over town so I put it in there because it was fascinating. And yes, I am a retired video producer.
Mesquite trees
Thanks Paul. We did learn what they were a week or so later when we saw them somewhere else in Arizona (see our Roosevelt Lake video) and they were in beautiful full bloom with yelly flowers.
And lots of oak trees
When you were camping on juniper flats, you were parked by my sons memorial site
I actually shot video of that but I didn’t add it out of respect. It’s a beautiful place to be remembered. Sorry for your loss.
What was his name? We might have a shot we can send to you.
Thank you, that was very kind. You could have shown the video tho, we would not have been angry. His name was Cody Taylor. Everyone from around here knew him, again thank you.
@@oldguyconservative I’m sorry I didn’t take shots of that one, but I do remember it and you’re correct, we were right next to it. Big boulders with things like “we miss you Cody” written all over them. 😕
I live in sierra vista and I do everything at all costs not to venture out to surrounding area unless I'm leaving to Tucson or Phoenix
Does that mean you don’t go to Bisbee and just stay in Sierra Vista? If so, what should we see or do there? I know there are some Korean restaurants there that are supposed to be very good, right?
@@CubbyVanLife I do not go to Bisbee nor Benson, I just take care of my family, go to gym and work...we do things in Tucson or Phoenix, go to cove, skate park, bike rides, basketball, soccer, etc
I bet its full of Angelenos.
what time of the year were you in Bisbee?
We were there in early April. About 6 weeks ago.
Any turquoise out there??
Nor sure. But we did find some on BLM land near Indian Bread Rocks in Arizona.
QUIET 🤫
Trying to keep the crowds away? I certainly don’t blame you. 😉
The people exposing themselves to children is a bit much. Better off in Sedona, both are tourist traps but the people in Sedona are at least friendly.
Im sorry, I don’t know what you’re referring to. Can you tell me what part of the video you’re talking about? Thanks for the comment.
@@CubbyVanLife Oh so sorry, not in the video just addressing the beahvior i see in the town
@@kenziek6707 oh okay, gotcha 😉 Can’t really speak to that since I didn’t see it but I’ll take your word for it. Hey, if you haven’t seen it perhaps you’d like our Sedona video. If you get achance to watch it let is know your thoughts. Again, thanks for the feedback.
@@kenziek6707 Sedona: czcams.com/video/ubPl2vSQakE/video.html
@@CubbyVanLife Nice, I will ! :)
Almost stop watching because of the joe branden whispering at the beginning.
no likes, no subscribe, no bell. Hate giving you comments.
