Welcome to Bisbee Rockhounding Tour
Discover the rich mineral history of Bisbee, Arizona on a hands-on, two-hour rockhounding adventure! Led by a local enthusiast with a deep love for the land, this tour takes you off the beaten path to explore old railroad beds, 1890s mine tailings, and a historic gold mine area tucked in the hills.
All tours start outside the copper queen library located at 6 main st in Bisbee. The guide will then drive to 3 separate stops and guests can ride with him (up to five people) or follow in their own vehicle. All stops are within 4 miles of the starting point.
We’ll search for vibrant copper-based minerals like azurite, malachite, and chrysocolla, along with beautiful silica-rich stones such as quartz, agate, and jasper. Whether you’re new to rockhounding or a seasoned collector, you’ll enjoy stories of the miners who once worked this land—and leave with some treasures of your own.
Wear sturdy shoes, bring your curiosity, and get ready to experience the geology and history of Bisbee in a whole new way!
