The historic Green River Valley community is a great place to rendezvous like a mountain man.
The annual Green River Rendezvous was first held in Pinedale in the summer of 1936. In 2021, the Rendezvous is scheduled for July 8-11. The Plains Indian Encampment is always set up adjacent to the Museum of the Mountain Men.
