From the Office of Wyoming Tourism web site:
The area around present-day Riverton was home to two rendezvous, in 1830 and 1838. Lending the modern event a particularly historic air, the camp used today is the same one used over 150 years ago. Pitch your teepee or modern tin-teepee under the same cottonwoods as the real mountain men did (or update tradition by staying in an area hotel). Then venture out for knife- and tomahawk-throwing contests and demonstrations, crafts, kids games and campfire singing.
