This rendezvous is a pre-1840’s fur trade rendezvous re-enactment.  This means that we strive for all aspects of this event to be true to that era in the Rocky Mountains.  This event is held about 6 miles south of the town of Como, Colorado.  Como is located in South Park, an intermontane grassland basin.  South Park is approximately 950 square miles of rolling hills and meadows at approximately 10,000 feet altitude.  This region was a favorite trapping and wintering spot during the fur trade era.
