Original Green River Rendezvous Grounds
at confluence of Green River and Horse Creek.
|
The Museum of the Mountain Man is located in the small rural town of
Pinedale, Wyoming, at the foot of the Wind River Mountains and the
Continental Divide near the headwaters of the Green River.
At 7000 feet elevation, Pinedale is on a high plateau surrounded
by three mountain ranges (Wind River, Wyoming, Gros Ventre).
Starting in 1811, when the Astorians crossed Union Pass and entered the Upper
Green River Valley, until the end of the Fur Trade Era, this was
one of the richest
beaver areas in the west. Six of the fifteen Rocky Mountain
Rendezvous were held here on Horse Creek near Daniel, Wyoming.
A reenactment of the Green River Rendezvous is held each
year on the second Sunday in July. Pinedale is a rural area
dependent primarily on ranching and tourism. For further
information on Pinedale and the surrounding area visit Pinedale
Online.
Pinedale is located 100 miles north of Rock Springs, Wyoming and 75 miles
south of Jackson Hole, Wyoming on Highway 191. To reach the
Mountain Man Museum, on the east end of Pinedale turn north on the
Fremont Lake Road. After 1/2 mile on top of the hill turn
right at the Pinedale Medical Clinic and then take the next right.
