Flying W Ranch Colorado Springs

Well, it's another one of my fondest childhood memories. The Flying W Ranch... I think my parents learned about this place when my dad was working for Hewlett Packard in Colorado Springs. I think they used to have company off-sites there and the whole family would be invited for the supper that is served along with the band and the train rides and all of the other fun neat little things that are offered! These guys have teepees set up, old style western shops, a country style band, and honey butter that is so good.

This is really a neat place to take the family and I had a blast running up and down the steps to ride the train and explore the rocks there when I was a kid. The Flying W Ranch is located just up on the foothills of Colorado Springs and sort of rests between some of the same sort of rock formations that make up the Garden of the Gods.

Here is some more info on the Flying W Ranch that I found on their website: The Flying W Ranch is a working, mountain cattle ranch located in Colorado Springs, Colorado, that has specialized in western food and entertainment since 1953.

The Flying W has a winning combination of beautiful natural surroundings, an authentic old western town and mouth-watering food. When the Flying W Wranglers top the evening off with their outstanding western stage show we have an offering unsurpassed in Colorado.

We have beautiful natural surroundings, an authentic old western town and mouth-watering BBQ beef or chicken suppers. In our high season we serve supper to and entertain over a thousand persons each evening. Supper and show are held outdoors underneath the Picturesque Colorado Sky if the weather is nice or inside and heated if necessary.
