TRT sponsors three rendezvous each year. The Frozen Toes Rendezvous is the first rendezvous of the year and is held the last weekend in February.  The second id the Lancaster Restoration Rendezvous held Memorial Day Weekend.  Finally, the Trapper Days Rendezvous held on the weekend following Labor Day coincides with the Fort Lupton Trapper Days celebration. Shooting, tomahawk and knife throwing, and fire starting contests add to the fun of the rendezvous. (Visit Calendar and Events page for details.)

Each rendezvous features a "Traders Row" where traders sell replica and hand made goods of the type used by fur trappers and mountain men. For the more adventurous, who want to experience mountain life first hand, traders can outfit you with everything you need from clothing and shelter to cooking utensils.

Tallow River Trappers also sponsors monthly muzzleloading shoots.

Come and experience the excitement of seeing history come to life at these reenactments of the life and times of the western mountaineer or mountain man.
