Few images embody the spirit of the American West as well as the horseback-riding cowboy of American lore. Throughout history, their iconic lifestyle has been glamorized in countless books, movies and TV shows—but the rough, lonely, and often grueling work of a cowboy wasn’t for the faint of heart. This event will explore the history of these rugged men and participants will learn firsthand what it means to “cowboy up.”
10-12 HOURS, 15-20 MILES. THE ORIGINAL CHALLENGE. AVERAGE COMPLETION RATE: 94%
