Have been asked about the original rendezvous of the past and their locations. I think we had talked about this a few years ago?
All the rendezvous were held west of the Continental Divide with the exception of the 1829 (Lander), 1830 (Riverton), and 1838 (Riverton) rendezvous. Except for one site that was in Utah, two where on the Utah-Idaho border, and one in Pierre’s Hole, Idaho, all of the other rendezvous were held in Wyoming; six of the sixteen rendezvous were held on Horse Creek in the Green River Valley near present-day Daniel, Wyoming. I will repeat the total number held as some make this number an issue.
All of the Mountain Man rendezvous were held in the territory of primarily the Shoshone (Snake) Indians.
The largest tributary of the Missouri, Columbia, and Colorado river systems heads within a sixty-eight mile radius of the Grand Teton peak in western Wyoming. Another circle with a radius of one hundred and ninety-one miles covers all of the Rocky Mountain Rendezvous sites and the Three Forks area of Montana. With the Grand Teton at its center, this area covers the richest beaver country in the Rocky Mountains.
