At Linden Valley Arena, the rugged spirit of the West isn't just alive; it's the heartbeat of our 60 acres of untamed land. Tucked 6 miles west of Show Low and cradled by towering pines, this land whispers tales of grit, determination, and good old-fashioned fun. Since 2010, Kay and Dee Perkins, and their kin have stewarded this slice of Arizona, transforming it into a sanctuary not just for the roping community but for all who seek to create lasting memories in the embrace of the West.
Fuelled by a vision of freedom and a deep respect for the cowboy lifestyle, Kay, Dee, and their family didn't just imagine Linden Valley; they built it with their hands. This labor of determination transformed the land into more than an arena—it became a heartland for the roping community and a welcoming space for all, from 4H events to family gatherings, ensuring that everyone can find joy and adventure here.
Designed by ropers for ropers, our dual arenas epitomize this dream, offering an unparalleled roping experience amidst the scent of pine and the legacy of hard work. Yet, Linden Valley Arena is more than a destination for the roping elite; it's a family-friendly getaway where the wild heart of the West beats for everyone. Here, families can forge unforgettable memories, laughter fills the air, and every visitor, regardless of their passion, can enjoy the thrill of the West.
Operating from April through October, Linden Valley isn't just a place; it's a season of adventure, competition, and camaraderie. Whether you're here to chase the adrenaline of team roping, indulge in the precision of cowboy mounted shooting, participate in our varied events, or contribute to our charity efforts, you're part of a legacy that's as enduring as the landscape itself.
So, saddle up and head to Linden Valley Arena. Here, amidst the pine-scented air and the echo of lassos, you'll not just make memories—you'll become part of our broader story.
Welcome to where legends ride, and families create memories that last a lifetime.
