Chasing Ghosts: A Bike Ride with Butch Cassidy & His Wild Bunch

An engaging talk on the life and legacy of Butch Cassidy with historian Andrew Gulliford and adventurer Brett Davis. Through a modern mountain bike expedition tracing the old haunts of Cassidy and his Wild Bunch along the outlaw trail, they explore the line between history and legend—and why the outlaw era still captivates the American imagination.

Presented as part of the statewide America 250 and Colorado 150 commemorations, this program explores how stories of the late 19th-century West became part of the broader narrative of American identity and mythmaking. By revisiting the landscapes tied to Cassidy's story, the presenters invite audiences to consider how history, place, and storytelling intersect in shaping our understanding of the past.

This event is open to community members, history enthusiasts, outdoor recreation fans, and anyone interested in the enduring stories of the American West. The program will include a presentation and discussion, with time for audience questions.
