Cortez Colorado Tourism

Cortez is a convenient hub for exploring the archaeological and natural wonders of Southwest Colorado and the Four Corners. In addition to being the gateway to Mesa Verde National Park, the entire Cortez/Mancos/Dolores area has been called the Archaeological Center of America.

The Ancestral Puebloan (Ana-sazi) sites located in the area include; Mesa Verde, Lowry Pueblo, Ute Mountain Tribal Park and Hovenweep National Monument. The area is also home to Canyons of the Ancients. At the Cortez Cultural Center Indian Dances or the outdoor drama, Black Shawl, are offered six nights a week during the summer. Admission is free. Be sure to visit the Colorado Welcome Center in Cortez.

The area is also home to Colorado’s second largest lake, McPhee and offers fishing, hiking, rafting, biking, horseback and stagecoach rides, as well as a great base for exploring the entire Four Corners Area.
