Bisbee 1000 Stairs, AZ

The great Bisbee 1000 Stair competition is an annual fundraising event in Bisbee. It is also a great way to hike Bisbee, taking in many of the hills, back roads, and alleys of this eclectic city. The trail affords lovely views of the area and takes you up close to the personal touches people have done to their property. Maps of the trail are available at the visitor center, or use the GPS route available here. The trail takes you through a series of nine sets of stairs of roughly a hundred or more stairs. Afterward, you can continue to make your route as the 1000 stairs are just the start of how many stairs this community has to offer. The stairs were mainly built on old mule paths from the early mining days by the WPA during the Great Depression.
