Getting There
-
Walking
From the Copper Queen Hotel in downtown Bisbee, walk east on Main Street, which becomes OK Street. Continue on OK Street for approximately 0.5 miles until you reach the end of the paved road. The trailhead will be on your right, just before a gate. The initial part of the trail involves a steep, rocky climb. There are no entrance fees or parking costs associated with accessing the trailhead. Remember to bring water, as there are no facilities on the trail.
-
Driving
From the center of Bisbee, navigate towards OK Street, located on the eastern side of downtown. Due to the narrow and winding nature of Bisbee's streets, driving directly to the trailhead might be challenging. Limited parking is available near the intersection of OK Street and Brewery Avenue; parking here may be difficult on weekends. From your parking spot, walk along OK Street to the trailhead at the end of the road, following the walking directions. There are no parking fees in this area.
