America's Best Fishing Bars

Best Place to Drink With Rodeo Clowns
The Stockman, Walden, Colo.
970-723-8499
The Stockman is a classic Old West bar with traditional wooden front, tile floor and tongue-and-groove interior. All that's missing are the hitching posts. The ornate back bar was crafted in England in 1864. The Stockman has been in its current location since 1958; originally across the street, it opened in the 1930s. Over that time, it has served countless fishermen who have tried their luck on the North Platte, Michigan and Illinois rivers and the many alpine lakes outside of town, including John and Delaney.

The town of Walden is home to just 600 people, but things pick up the last week of June, when the annual Never Summer Rodeo coincides with the North Park Pioneer Reunion, a sort of homecoming for folks who grew up in town but have since moved away.
