We're a proud rodeo...with a historic beginning.
this ain't our first rodeo.
The Royal Gorge Rodeo is one of the oldest rodeos in Colorado. Activities go far beyond just the traditional rodeo. Wild horse racing, bull riding, roping, barrel racing, mutton bustin', and royalty pageantry are just some of the events you will experience while attending our CPRA rodeo in beautiful Cañon City, CO.
We are located on the Royal Gorge Rodeo grounds at
1595 S 9th Street, Cañon City, CO 81212
and host all of our rodeos at the historic Jack Merris Arena.
