Step back into the rugged days of the early 1800s at the Mountain Man Rendezvous—a living history adventure at the heart of Old West Days in Jackson Hole. Families will love exploring rows of canvas tents filled with skilled artisans demonstrating age-old crafts like leatherworking, blacksmithing, beading, and fur trapping.
Kids can dive into hands-on fun with axe throwing, archery, and a Saturday scavenger hunt designed just for young explorers. The Rendezvous hums with the energy of a frontier trading post, where traders swap goods and stories alike—don’t be surprised if a mountain man in full buckskins offers a tale or two!
Interactive storytelling and educational demos bring frontier survival skills to life, from fire-starting to the art of bartering. Whether you're five or fifty, the Rendezvous is your family’s chance to live the legend, connect with the past, and make memories that feel larger than life.
