Authentic western rodeo and barbecue
Rodeo was a part of Steamboat Springs' culture even before the town was incorporated over 100 years ago, and it's a tradition that is alive and well today. Mentions of competitive rodeo events in the local newspaper, the Steamboat Pilot, date back to at least 1898. Looking through historical files, it seems that no local event was complete without some type of rodeo competition. Steamboat's rodeos have grown over the years and are now major events sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association (PRCA), and there is a modern rodeo arena in downtown Steamboat on the same land the cowboys chose for their competitions years ago. Today rodeo-goers will enjoy such events as: Bareback Riding Team Roping Calf Scramble Ram Scramble Steer Wrestling Clown Acts Saddle Bronc Ridding Barrel Racing and of course,...Bull Riding
