ABOUT US

Bisbee Roots

Dear Fellow Travelers,

Hello and welcome. I'm Travis, the founder of Big Jeep Tours. While I may lead the tours, the real star of the show is Bisbee, Arizona—my cherished hometown. I was born and raised in this remarkable corner of the world, and it's a privilege to share its beauty and history with you. In addition to being your tour guide, I wear several other hats as a high school track and field head coach, an M.B.A. graduate, and most importantly, a proud father and grandfather.

After years away, coming back to Bisbee was like returning to an old friend. I quickly realized that my love for this town wasn't just nostalgia; it was a deep-rooted appreciation for a place that has so much to offer but is often overlooked. I felt a calling to share Bisbee's unique and historically significant charm with others. That's why I'm dedicated to not just showing you around but helping you understand why Bisbee holds an exceptional place in both Arizona and American history. During our tours, I find joy in sharing personal childhood memories, offering you a glimpse into the life and culture of Bisbee through the years.

​

Bisbee, Arizona, often referred to as the "Queen of the Copper Camps," is more than just a city; it's a living testament to a bygone era and a modern-day haven for culture and natural beauty. I warmly invite you to join us on one of our signature tours to experience all the wonders this incredible city has to offer. And as a personal touch, don't forget to check out the photos, capturing a few of my own childhood moments in Bisbee.
