Mark and I took time out for a leisurely breakfast at a local restaurant and noticed a Mountain Man Rendezvous. West Yellowstone is a fairly small town. It is literally 4 blocks by 8 blocks and totals 1 square mile. Since we had walked to breakfast, we decided to walk to the Rendezvous.
It had about 15ish vendors and it had old time demonstrations of crafts and practical skills. There was axe throwing contest and so much more. The day we went, it was a drizzly kind of day, but it was free and good fun.
The Rendezvous used to happen every year but it was cancelled last year due to Covid. We did not think it was going to happen this year. It was a pleasant surprise along our walk and I even got a couple of Christmas gifts bought.
Montana is proud of her western heritage. We felt it was a big part of the whole Montana experience so we dove right in. Not only did we stop by the Rendezvous, but we also went to a down-home private rodeo and a ranch cookout! YUM
and a horseback ride through the mountains with watchers in the woods.
Thanks for checking in on our adventures
WOW! I know y’all had a great time! <3
