While Cochise Cmodern mining still goes on here, it’s the well-documented history of the boom time that makes this area fascinating. Bisbee was once the overcrowded home of 20,000 souls who made their fortunes mining the rich copper, silver and gold deposits. Now, it’s the charming, artist-loving seat of Cochise County. Nestled in the Mule Mountains are well-preserved Victorian buildings and a small but devoted population of full time residents. Douglas and Naco are just north of the Mexico border, which makes them convenient for well- planned visits to another country. Sierra Vista is a quickly-growing modern C1 community, just to the east of Fort Huachuca, an active Army base.

C2 Everyone who has seen a western movie knows about the violent history of Tombstone. Much of the actual hangouts of Doc Holiday and Wyatt Earp have been preserved and regular “gun fights” add to the drama. map is not to scale The landscape of Cochise County is as diverse as the rest of Arizona, and surprising lush, verdant riparian conservation areas take turns with rugged mountains as a feast for the eyes. Visit Kartchner Caverns State Park to see underground beauty, or Chiricahua National Monument for towering rock formations. There’s something for everyone!
