Why you should go…

Flying W Ranch is a working cattle ranch in the foothills of Pikes Peak just outside Colorado Springs that has hosted chuckwagon dinner shows for more than 70 years. Guests eat a cowboy-style barbecue dinner and then watch the Flying W Wranglers perform a Western stage show with a video wall. The Western Grounds also feature horse and carriage rides, a narrow gauge train, and axe throwing. The ranch was destroyed in the 2012 Waldo Canyon Fire and was rebuilt, reopening in 2020.
