High Desert.
For five days leading up to the Reno Rodeo, up to 60 guests join a team of volunteer cowboys to drive 300 head of rodeo steers from Winnemucca Ranch to Reno, Nev. Guests travel from around the world to partake in this authentic slice of buckaroo life, many of whom return year after year.
For many, the Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive is more than a vacation; it’s a paradigm shift, a chance to see the world through the lens of a true-blue cowboy. Long, dusty afternoons are soaked up on horseback, navigating short-horned cattle through dusty plateaus and sunbaked sagebrush. Food and supplies are transported the old-fashioned way: in 1800s-style horse- or mule-drawn wagons lugging guests’ gear. Rain, snow, and beating sun are all fair game during the Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive, but they are no match to the sweeping vistas and a profound sense of accomplishment participants experience with the close of each day.
With daylight’s departure comes the time to let loose. Long days on horseback are rewarded with all the well-deserved luxury a cowboy could dream of. Technicolor sunsets usher in evenings laced with laughter and camaraderie. Hearty catered meals and an open bar are welcome staples to nights spent gathered around the campfire singing songs, sharing cowboy poetry and forging memories that will last a lifetime. In the words of past participants, there’s nothing like it.
The final leg of the journey culminates at high noon as the cattle drive makes its grand entrance into Reno hitting the pavement at Oddie Blvd to McCarran Blvd and down Sutro Street. Here the crew is greeted with sidewalks brimming with smiling faces and children hoisted up on shoulders. It’s certainly a sight to behold as the buckaroos navigate 300 rodeo steers through the paved streets of Reno, much to the marvel of those looking on.
The completion of the Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive marks the official start of the “Wildest Richest Rodeo in the West.” Whether you’re participating in the full five-day affair or taking it all in from the sidelines, there’s no denying that this is a spectacular experience that’s not to be missed.
Let's enjoy our outdoors with a mostly shaded moderate hike from the Whites Creek trailhead to see if there is any water left in Dry Pond. Let's have a nice walk together and converse "en Français" but not required.
Inspired by the success of April's Walk for Peace (Bougez pour la Paix), the Alliance Française de Reno is organizing a series of casual walks (Randonnée) for all ages and fitness levels. These hikes will take place in our beautiful surrounding areas, promoting a healthy lifestyle and fostering community spirit.
Led by our Member and passionate hiker, Christophe Duchateau.

pete in the rodeo. There are only 8 – 12 slots in each rodeo performance for each event, when more contestants enter than can compete in the performances; they compete in the “slack”
lessrsemanship skills and competitive drive in this fast and furious event make it a crowd favorite.
In barrel racing, the contestant and her horse enters the arena at full speed. As they begin the course the horse and rider trigger an electronic eye that starts the clock. The racer rides a cloverleaf pattern around three barrels positioned in the arena, and then sprinting back out, trips the eye and stops the clock as she leaves.
The contestant can touch or even move the barrels but receives a five-second penalty for each barrel that is overturned.
