About The Venue

We're excited to be back at the Ketchum Calf Rodeo Grounds in beautiful Glenwood, WA.  Having our dates in June should make the weather more pleasant for riding. This location is easy to drive to and camping has shade and easy to maneuver  trucks, trailers and motorhomes.

Plenty of dry camping and water is available.  There are no pens on bring your own corrals or bring your high line set up, there are plenty of trees. Bathrooms will be unlocked this year and available.

Trails meander thru forest land with some uphill and downhills but safe and quiet areas.  Wildlife is abundant and we will skirt farmland and cattle pastures and open rangeland.  Good water crossings on the trail. There is a good chance that you will encounter range cows on the trail.

Please pack your trash out with you.  The Rodeo Grounds Committee was kind enough to allow us to use their facility and I want to make certain it is cleaner than when we arrive.  Same goes with the trails.  Manure pile will be available to use in the camping area.  

Please dispose of your manure in the designated area.

If you have any questions please see me.
