Members of the Roundup Riders of the Rockies ride horseback in a parade on Bannock Street in front of the City and County Building in the central business district of Denver, Colorado. The men are dressed as North American Indians and wear feather headdresses and ride without saddles. The horses are adorned with beaded panels and woven blankets. Spectators in winter coats crowd the sidewalk. Lights, bells, a wreath and Christmas tree decorations are on the sides of the City and County building.
