City - Cortez

Cortez is a small town bursting with history and archaeological treasures. The early inhabitants of Cortez developed an awe-inspiring, complex civilization with thriving cliff cities through New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah. Adding even more historical significance, Cortez was part of the Old Spanish Trail, which connected New Mexico, California, and southern Colorado for trading and commerce.

Today, Cortez is the gateway to these ancient ruins and artifacts, making it one of the richest archaeological centers in the nation. The desert town is nestled between the La Plata and Sleeping Ute Mountains, giving beautiful 360 views. Cortez is also along the Trail of the Ancients Scenic & Historic Byway, which is a great way to view the region’s archaeological beauty.

For entertainment, you can find locals indulging in the natural amenities Cortez offers. The town has over 116 acres of parks and trails.
