Saddle up for a guided walking tour through the heart of historic Golden, Colorado, where pioneers, gold seekers, and lawless outlaws once roamed. Expert storytellers, dressed in authentic Wild West attire, will take you on an adventure through the town’s legendary past. Our guides ain’t your ordinary, dull-as-dirt history peddlers. Nope, we’re yarn-spinners, story-weavers, bringing the Wild West back to life with tales as riveting as a saloon brawl, brimming with character and humor.
Golden was the beating heart of the Colorado Gold Rush, and our stories will transport you smack dab into those dust-churning days when the pioneers and outlaws were blazing trails across the grand, unforgiving American Desert. Our sagas roam far and wide, beyond the confines of Olde Golden City, outstripping those dry-as-bones textbooks you might’ve squinted at in school (or conveniently forgotten!).
From frontier saloons and shootouts to gold rush fortunes and famous figures, you’ll hear incredible true tales that bring history to life! Grab your cowboy hat and join us on this fun morning, followed by lunch on your own at Old Capitol Grill.
