Experience the real cowtown life in Kansas with re-enactments and entertainment.
In 1873, with Wichita the Kansas terminus of the Chisholm Trail, darned thirsty cowboys up from Texas shook off the dust in a bunch of bars located along the boomtown’s Chicago Street.
Build bonds with your horse for great riding at this Wyoming clinic.
For the first four years of its life, the gorgeous palomino before me was a wild stallion, a mustang running free in the Twin Peaks BLM region of the wide-open West, the high desert along the California/Nevada border. It didn’t appreciate being captured (or gelded), and this fiery horse wouldn’t let anyone come close.

Come in May for the Old Fort Days Rodeo.
Day 1: The Old Fort Days Rodeo (May 28–June 2) has been running for 78 years, and its enthusiastic bullfighters and barrel clowns make for an entertaining show. Look at the many events hosted at the fair, including the Tough Enough to Wear Pink Chili Feast and Live auction, and the Old Fort Days Barrel Racing Futurity and Super Derby.
America may lack Europe’s cathedrals and castles, but we have the Grand Canyon.
This may be the most famous horseback ride in the world—except you’ll be on a mule. An exhilarating trek that winds more than 5,000 feet down to the Colorado River at the Grand Canyon’s floor, this is also one of the most difficult to reserve.

The Arizona Cowboy College teaches greenhorns ranch skills by doing.
With its massive chest and haunches, the cow stands there tense and flighty, looking more like a bull than a heifer. We’ve spent all morning searching for, driving, and blocking this brown cow and finally have her stopped with her yearling and debating an open corral gate.

Cowboy Action Shooting and mounted shooting are growing and popular sports that are changing ideas about firearms in America.
Light glints off the cold steel in my hands as the sun sinks toward the western horizon, casting a long shadow of a lone gunfighter on the desert floor. I struggle to control the itch in my trigger finger as the armed caravan comes into view. It’s an eternity before the wagons rumble through the narrow gulch below.

Trade a suit for spurs and join a cattle drive to deliver the herd on time.
A Montana cowboy named E.C. “Teddy Blue” Abbott published a memoir almost a century ago and relates this anecdote:

Johnny Warnshuis is on a solo ride across America to raise awareness of a rare autoimmune disease. His girlfriend and publicist, Sherree Hogg, shares his story.
Johnny Warnshuis is riding horseback from Redding, Calif., to New York City, to spread awareness for GBS/CIDP, a disorder of the body's immune system that attacks the peripheral nerves. The disease hits close to home for Johnny, as his mother recently fell victim to the rare disorder, which occurs in only one or two people in 100,000.

America may lack Europe’s cathedrals and castles, but we have the Grand Canyon. And a ride into the Canyon is an experience that should be on everyone's life list.
This may be the most famous horseback ride in the world—except you’ll be on a mule. An exhilarating trek that winds more than 5,000 feet down to the Colorado River at the Grand Canyon’s floor, this is also one of the most difficult to reserve. Unless you score a last-minute cancellation, expect to book at least one year in advance.
