May we suggest a road trip? Make the most of the remaining summer with our signature Mesa Verde Country events this month.
Cortez Balloon Rally August 5-7
Going strong for the past decade, see this colorful spectacle this weekend!
Montezuma County Fair August 5-7
Music. Food. Fun! The Montezuma Country Music Festival at the fair features Repeat Offenders and Not Quite Dry. Taste the county’s best chili and salsa. Take in the demolition derby. Remember, the fairgrounds are right across from our epic mountain biking terrain, Phil’s World. So in between the food and music, plan to do some of Colorado’s best biking. (Simplify the road trip and rent a bike at Kokopelli Bike & Board.)
