Top of the World Rodeo

As the highest elevation rodeo in the world at 9,640 feet, the Top of the World Rodeo and the City of Cripple Creek proudly present the 8th Annual Top of the World Rodeo in Cripple Creek, Colorado. The City of Cripple Creek has a rich and colorful history. Before the discovery of gold that would change the area forever, Cripple Creek was a cattle ranch. In 1895, the only Mexican Bullfight ever fought on North American soil was staged just outside of town. And indoor rodeos were held in the early 1900’s. Today, we are proud to carry on the long tradition of folks pushing themselves and their livestock to the edge.
