The Never Summer Rodeo in Walden Colorado is one of my favorites. It is large enough to attract quality competitors and yet small enough that you can walk around and talk to competitors if you wish. I had to drive through Wyoming to get from Fort Collins to Walden because the High Park Fire had closed the highway up the Poudre Canyon. Even though we were far from the fire we could see the huge smoke cloud from the rodeo grounds.
