Since I cut my Ramsey Canyon trip short, I went over to Bisbee for the day instead of staying overnight and boy am I glad! The streets were virtually empty!
Bisbee, is very much a hillside town (mining) and has many charming and colorful buildings. Many are galleries and restaurants; perfect for tourism. According to one of the shop owners, two weeks in August are always very slow and I happened to be there during that time. Boy, my southern AZ trip was not panning out as I had expected!

| Copper City Inn - where I had planned to stay... |
I visited several galleries and art supply stores. It was in Bliss-Bee that I got a nice history of the art community. Unlike many art communities, Bisbee has a high turn over of artists or "unreliable" artists, making it difficult for galleries to keep stocked. It must be the remote location or artists seeking a short term retreat...
Bisbee is over 5hrs driving from Prescott, but I might go back again during a week with a special event. I might pair it with a tour of the surrounding wineries....

The wineries are a good addition since everything is better with wine. :)
