Once a mining town, Cisco saw most of its residents leave in the 1970s, leaving it largely uninhabited despite its proximity to the Kokopelli Trail. The area was made famous by the documentary “The Cisco Kid,” whose protagonist, Erin Muzza, purchased the property and moved to the Utah desert to escape city life.
