The experience

The tour starts at the south end of downtown and moves north through Breckenridge's historic district, making stops at haunted buildings and locations tied to the town's mining era. Along the way, your guide shares stories of life and death in this old mining town: the kind of history that shaped the place you're walking through. You'll use ghost hunting tools as you go, searching for the energy that remains in these buildings and streets. The route finishes at the old Brown Hotel at the north end of town.

This is the original ghost tour of Breckenridge, written by author Gail Westwood and running since 2010. It's the only tour company in the area that brings ghost hunting equipment into the walk itself, so you're not just hearing the stories. You're actively searching for evidence as you move through downtown. The tour takes roughly 100 minutes and stays entirely outdoors on the streets and at building exteriors, so layering up matters. The guide will point out a few spots where you can sit if you need a break.
