The lantern bobbing in the night makes the courthouse steps look like a stage set for something unfinished. On a one-mile loop through Cheyenne’s brick streets, this evening walk threads past the Wyoming Supreme Court, the Tivoli, and the old depot — places whose histories still seem to breathe between streetlamps.

Meet the Guide Early
Arrive at least 15 minutes before departure — guides wear a US Ghost Adventures t-shirt and carry a lantern for easy identification.
Dress in Layers
Even summer evenings can be cool; bring a jacket because wind off the plains will make it feel colder after dark.
Respect Private Property
The tour views historic buildings from public sidewalks only — don’t attempt to enter or cross private property to get a better look.
Bring a Charged Phone for Photos
Street lighting is low; a charged phone or camera with night mode will capture the atmosphere without disrupting the tour.
Closed-toe walking shoes
Stable footwear is useful on uneven brick sidewalks and curbs.
Warm layer or light jacket
Night temperatures drop quickly on the plains; a jacket keeps you comfortable during evening tours.
