Cowboy Safari Autumn Round-Up

Start: Monday, November 10, 2025 7:00PM
End: Saturday, November 22, 2025 5:00PM

Come join us for the first ever Cowboy Safari Autumn Round-Up, an unforgettable end-of-November festival celebrating the spirit of the American West with a safari twist. Picture wide open prairie, roaming “safari” style horseback trails, campfire cook-outs, live country and folk music, artisan craft stalls and gourmet food trucks. At dusk the ranch transforms into a glowing prairie camp where guests gather around fire pits for storytelling, acoustic sets and stargazing.
Whether you’re a seasoned rider or a first-time explorer, the Cowboy Safari Round-Up has activities for everyone: guided trail rides, lasso lessons, cowboy hat decorating, a “trailblazer” kids zone, ranch-style barbecues and live bands until late. Cozy up in shared tipi tents or bring your own RV and stay under the stars.

Highlights:

• Sunrise horseback “safari” ride across the golden grasslands

• Western folk and Americana music from local and touring artists

• Artisan market showcasing leather goods, handmade boots, vintage denim and southwestern jewellery

• Food-truck village with smoked brisket, vegetarian wild-mushroom chilli, craft beer and mulled cider

• Evening campfire sessions: acoustic sets, spoken-word poets, marshmallow roasts

• Family area with pony rides, gold-panning, cowboy hat decorating & lasso practice

• Late-night “Barn Dance Under the Stars” with DJ set and bonfire

Admission:
General admission includes access to all daytime events; VIP tickets include a two-horse open range ride, premium seating at the barn dance, and a deluxe camp-fire s’mores kit. Accommodation options are available on-site (shared tipi tents, glamping pods, RV hookups).

Travel & Tips:
Wild Ridge Ranch is about 1 hour south of Denver International Airport. Free parking is available on-site; car-pooling encouraged. Dress warmly—nights can drop below freezing in late November. Sturdy boots recommended for trail rides; layers advised for daytime sunshine and cool evenings. Bring your camera: spectacular prairie and ridge views await.

Why Attend:
This is a rare opportunity to mix the rugged charm of cowboy culture with safari-style outdoor adventure just as autumn gives-way to winter. Whether you love live music, open-air experiences, artisan crafts or simply want to disconnect and ride into the sunset, the Cowboy Safari Autumn Round-Up is tailor-made for that.
