Free Trapper’s Man Rendezvous

Spring Mountain Ranch State Park will host a gathering of costumed re-enactors who will bring to life the fur-trade of the 1830s. Explore a village of tee-pees, lean-tos and tents as the hard-bitten trappers and explorers gather to compete, joke and trade with each other. Learn how to throw a tomahawk, taste savory stew from a Dutch oven, and test your wits as you bargain with a fur trader in his tee-pee. Children will learn how to bend a bow and loose an arrow. There will be fun for the entire family while learning what drove the first Europeans to explore the harsh desert that we call home at the Spring Mountain Free Trappers Mountain Man Rendezvous!
