The Flying W Ranch

Seven Years ago my family and I , while visiting Colorado, spent an evening at the Flying W Ranch outside of Colorado Springs. Late this past June a wildfire burned in the mountains west of Colorado Springs. The fire, fed by high winds, moved quickly east burning more than 300 homes and the Flying W Ranch. The ranch turned to tourism in 1953 and started serving  chuck wagon suppers to visitors followed by a live concert by the Flying W Wranglers. The ranch also included an old west town and railroad. The owners have pledged to rebuild.
