A late-afternoon sun slides across corrugated rooftops as the Jeep eases up a switchback into the Mule Mountains. Wind teases the sage; the town below looks carved into the hillside — rows of colorful Victorian houses stepping down toward a narrow mining valley. Your guide, a local raised on these slopes, points out the copper veins that once paid for Bisbee’s boom and the drainage gutters that keep monsoon water from sweeping Main Street away.
