About the rendezvous
Trapper Days Rendezvous is a good time for all. Families and “pilgrims” are welcome to visit and get a feel for the historic rendezvous encampments of the mountain men. The rendezvous camp and the fort and the historic park are open during the day. The rendezvous coincides with the Trapper Day festivities in the city of Fort Lupton. In the rendezvous area of the historic park there is a Traders Row that provides trade goods from the 1830's. At dusk, pre-1840 dress is required to be in the rendezvous encampment.
Early set-up
Early set-up allows campers and traders to establish their camp the weekend before the rendezvous. Camps must be broken down the last day of the rendezvous.
