Chuckwagon Dinner
We're looking for recommendations for a cowboy/chuckwagon dinner in SW Colorado, Utah (Moab, Zion, Bryce) or Sedona, AZ. I have 3 boys, so gun fight vs. singing and dancing. Travel dates 7/25 - 8/15.

We went to a chuckwagon dinner in Durango years ago--the Bar D Chuckwagon. However, it was songs and comedy, no gunfights!
A couple other activities that might be of interest to your sons in that area (SW Colorado) are the Silverton Train in Durango and the nearby Mesa Verde National Park.

For SW Colorado, I'd recommend the Bar-D Chuckwagon, just north of Durango. The food's fairly good, and the music is very nice. No gunfights or dancing, I'm afraid. We go every summer. (970) 247-5753.
The melodrama in Durango is also fun for kids, with all the noise the audience is supposed to make during the show: booing, clapping, sighing, etc.

Thanks for the info! We already have reservations for the train and are planning to go to Mesa Verde (as long as wildfires are under control). We have 1 week in Pagosa Springs, so the chuckwagon dinner in Durango sounds like it will work out! Thanks again for your help!

BBEAR, I wrote this on a different thread, but you might want to check out Chimney Rock Archaeological Center, especially if they have a full moon program during your stay.
From Pagosa, you may also want to drive up to the continental divide at Wolf Creek Pass. There's a beautiful lake just over the divide called Big Meadows Reservoir. The walk around the lake is easy and pleasant.
Make sure you go to the hot springs!
