One of the best parts of living in Colorado is the opportunity to walk around and enjoy our mountains, plains, and cities, which can be done on your own or with a knowledgable guide. If you prefer the latter over venturing out on your own but cannot get out for a tour, you are in luck, as you can take the Museums of Western Colorado walking history tour from your couch:
