It's a sight to behold! If you keep driving north on the 191(10 to 15 min) there is a overlook and photo op with a haul truck bed and tire. My kids loved it. It shows how powerfu man can be when you work as a team to build one of the largest mines in the world. Defently worth the drive.

If you have never seen how copper is mined at these places its quite an interesting process to see.

The mine in Morenci employs guards that do not recognize the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) rules. Even when a driver with a handicap placard comes to check in at the gate they make them walk the distance from the truck area to the guard shack. The women are very rude and will also tell you that having the placard doesn’t make a difference. My husband has a bad hip, which doesn’t affect his ability to do his job but does limit his ability to walk long distances. We are owner operators and have lost a lot of revenue because of their unfairness towards people with disabilities. I’m sure he’s not the only one that has experienced this discrimination by the Morenci Mine Guard staff and am interested in hearing from others who have had the same happen to them. I think a Class Action Lawsuit might make them change their policies don’t you??

Awesome sight, and very colorful! I saw a huge bighorn ram while I was looking at the mine, got a fantastic photo. For all the haters, please.... I traveled the entire western USA and this was the only major mine I saw on the entire trip. If you hate mining, give up your car, computer, your entire lifestyle... Mining standards in the USA are higher than any country in the world. In fact, we need MORE domestic mining, not less.

Its got a lot stricter in recent years don't know if they still do public tours even if they do you probably won't see much as they stay on the LVA (light vehicle access) usually

Not on mine property that I now. But Hwy 191 runs through the mine, at the center a visitor site has been setup. From there you can see 90% of the mine. It's free.

Go to Fmi.com and apply. That's the only way.

Can you visit the mine without taking the tour? We can't make it on Saturday.
