About Us
Riverton sits at the convergence of the Big Wind and Little Wind Rivers which has been a meeting place and crossroads since pre-historic times. Chief Washakie, Jim Bridger and Sacajawea are only a few of the legends that walked this land.
Riverton is the focal point for many exciting events. The most famous is the Riverton Rendezvous and Hot Air Balloon Rally. Held in July, this celebration features a car show, demolition derby, craft show and spectacular hot air balloons.
One of the most popular events held each summer is the re-enactment of the 1838 Mountain Man Rendezvous. Men and women demonstrate skills used by the mountain men. The re-enactment is held on the original site of the 1838 Rendezvous, where such names as Jim Bridger, William Sublette, Kit Carson and Jedediah Smith met with other mountain men, traders, American Indians and missionaries to trade wares and celebrate a season of trapping in the mountains.
Whether your plans take you through Riverton on your way to Yellowstone or Grand Teton National Parks (only two hours away), or you make it your destination, you will have the time of your life here in the Rendezvous City.
