1838 Mountain Man Rendezvous

1838 Mountain Man Rendezvous

Since 1989 the 1838 Rendezvous Association has been working to preserve one of the rare historical sites associated with the American mountain men. This site is at the confluence of the Wind River and Popo Agie (now Little Wind) rivers and was used for the 1830 and 1838 Rendezvous`, and Captain Bonneville`s camp in the summer of 1835.

The 1838 Mountain Man Rendezvous takes place on the actual historical site and is one of Riverton’s most popular annual events for those who want to step back in time and authentically experience the days of the mountain man–camping out and walking on the same grounds as trappers and traders, Native Americans, pioneer travelers and missionaries of old–enjoy games, black powder shooting matches, hawk/knife throws, council fires, seminars, and historical re-enactments.
