lavender pit印象

It's very impressive and it is being reclaimed nowadays. To get the best views, climb the roadway leading to the RV park above the Visitors Center (where the tours for the Copper mine start). You will be at a high enough elevation to have a great view of the entire pit. It truly is lavender color at certain times of the day.-------------

I've done this twice and found it informative both times. The first time I went I was in my early 20's and then again when my boys were in their teens. It's a great way to see how the area survived years ago.

Every time I see it and realize how much came from it over such a short time I'm amazed. Not as large as the grand canyon, it's still a big hole!

I never go to Bisbee without stopping at the Lavender Pit. It is an interesting relic of the past. Do some reading about the history of mining in the area before going!

It's actually pretty depressing seeing the results of strip mining. The huge pit is surrounded by high fencing with viewing holes. The pit surrounded by the slag left over after the minerals were extracted. It just shows that progress comes at the expense of the land.

The Lavender Pit was named after the man who founded it. It is interesting to see and quite impressive but it needs more readily available information about it's development and history. We learned more about it from other tours than we did from stopping there ourselves. But, it's a great way to get to the Bisbee Breakfast Club so stop on the way.

Was driving past old Bisbee and looked to my right and what did I see but this big hole in the ground. I have to admit it is huge and makes you rubber neck when driving by it. I found an actual visitor spot to to get a glimpse of this Hugh hole. There is a fence so you won't fall to your death. You don'e get the size of this hole until you see that there are buildings around the edge and then when you compare the size to it, you get it.I can't imagine how long it took to make such a beast of a hole. Everyday when I was driving around old Bisbee I would have to look with amazement. Yes, it is really not a tourist attraction but you can't help but be amazed on how big this thing is. I decided to shot something in there for generations to find later. Only time will tell.

Drove my daughter over to see a very big pit mine and she was very impressed. Quite the hole in the ground and there are even seats and pictorial history available.

I was really excited to see this because I had read so many reviews about the beautiful coloring. It was an overcast day and we are too old to climb to get the best views, so maybe that's why we didn't see beautiful colors. The rusted fence also interferes with the view. It is very near the Queens Mine, so if you are going there, you definitely should stop at the Lavender Pit. There is plenty of parking, but no facilities. There is no fee to stop here.

We took a Golf Cart Tour of town that started here. Our guide spent years working in mine remediation, so he was very knowledgeable about what we were looking at. Now that he's an entrepreneur, he gave us what appeared to be an objective assessment of the environmental challenges the town faces, not just from this pit but from the ground cover and support walls that are central to the picturesque "terracing" of houses up the hill. We highly recommend this tour for the economic, cultural and local insights provided.
