Winter in Wickenburg, Arizona

Sep 4

Ready for team roping paradise mixed with tacos and margaritas? Oh, and the feeling of being back with the crew again all under the Arizona sun. Welcome to Wickenburg, AZ

As a photographer, I am fortunate enough to pick and choose where I can book work. As a team roper and breakaway roper, I recently decided to start spending the month of January in Arizona. Here is a short guide to what we love about Wickenburg, and some of our favorite spots.

Roping at Walking C Rope Horses near Wittmann, Arizona

Where to Rope

There are SO many choices for where to rope. I recommend picking up the Arizona Jackpot magazine at a local store to plan your ropings.

My favorite arenas to rope at include:

Downtown Arena
Rancho Rio
Dillon’s at Western Trails Ranch
Roper Nation aka Simpson’s
4D Arena

Where to Eat

When I’m not cooking in the LQ, I definitely enjoy a meal out!

My favorite restaurants include:

Rancho 7
El Ranchero
The Palamino Club
Onery Hog BBQ
Horseshoe Cafe
Nicols West in Congress, AZ

What to do

Vulture City Ghost Town
Walk downtown and enjoy the many shops
Golf
Rope!! or go watch a roping

PS- If you are interested in booking a session while I’m in Arizona shoot me an email! It’s never too early to start planning, and my books fill fast. Typical sessions in Arizona include horse sale photography, couple sessions, family sessions, solo sessions, team roping photography, drone photography and video, plus more.
