The 2025 Stampede is in the history books. 

We’re moving down the road for the next big celebration in the San Luis Valley – Manassa Pioneer Days. 

Before we do, here’s a look back at the 2025 Ski-Hi Stampede and its parades and rodeos and carnival.

Citizen photographers Ryan Michelle Scavo, Owen Woods and Dennis Schoenfelder captured all the action.
