Wyoming! It's past is rich with history of Native Americans,
mountain men, outlaws and ranchers.

In the early to mid-1800's, the height of the fur trapping and trading era, western Wyoming was the home of the mountain men who trapped for beaver. Although brief, this era was very colorful. The annual highlight was the fur trade Rendezvous, in which fur company representatives brought supplies to trappers and Native Americans. During Rendezvous, old friends and rivals met to exchange stories, barter for whiskey and supplies, and trade pelts for provisions. Six of the 16 Rendezvous were held just across Beaver Ridge from this property along Horse Creek and the Green River. Much of this history can be seen on the Museum of the Mountain Man located in nearby Pinedale.

Old Fort Bonneville, built in 1833, was located less than 20 miles away over the ridge. Today all that remains is a historical sign to mark the site. Butch Cassidy is known to have been in this area in the early days of his horse rustling career.

Today, the area surrounding this property is used for cattle ranching and recreation. The local communities have maintained their old west spirit and take much pride in the history of the area. Every summer the Green River Rendezvous is reenacted on the second week in July and is definitely an event you do not want to miss.
