As the sun dips below the horizon, experience the magic and mystery of the southwest on this guided walking tour of downtown Cortez. This guided 1-mile sunset tour invites you to step back into the rugged days of the Wild West, where outlaws, pioneers, and spirits have all left their mark.

Your expert guide will share the true tales of Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, and the infamous Wild Bunch, who once roamed this corner of Colorado in search of fortune and infamy. You will also hear stories of the people who turned Cortez from a dusty, frontier settlement into the modern community you see today.

But this tour isn't just about history, because not all who walked these lands have truly left. Along the way, hear eerie stories of ghosts said to wander from nearby Mesa Verde National Park, one of the most spiritually significant archaeological sites in North America. Learn how disregarding ancient teachings has brought hauntings to even the most well-meaning adventurer. Each building along your route holds its own tale—some thrilling, some tragic, and all unforgettable.

This evening Cortez Tour blends wild west history with local folklore, creating a family-friendly yet haunting experience. The walk covers approximately one mile through the downtown area, with several storytelling stops that highlight both the historical and supernatural. (Please note that while the pace is leisurely, seating options are limited along the route.)

Perfect for history lovers, adventure seekers, and those intrigued by the supernatural, this Cortez Ghost Tour offers a one-of-a-kind way to connect with the legends, spirits, and stories that define this corner of the American Southwest.
