Two Rivers Rendezvous
July 23, 2023

The annual summer Two Rivers Rendezvous was held over the weekend of July 6-9 at Fawn Creek Campground, hosted by the Kootenai Muzzleloaders. Sixty-one participants had signed up by Saturday afternoon, all having an interest in the history of the fur trade era of the Rocky Mountain West.

The weather cooperated with overall moderate (for July) temperatures allowing rifle and pistol shooting, although Saturday afternoon's temperature reached into the 80s. Conditions in some previous years have been so hot and dry that firearms were not allowed.

The Rendezvous is an annual gathering of modern-day mountain men and women who share a love of history and the re-creation of the fur-trading era in the 1800s Rocky Mountain West. It features black powder rifle and pistol shooting as well as archery and 'hawks and knives. Authentic clothing and equipment of the period are always featured at the Rendezvous, and visitors are welcome to attend and see a glimpse of what life was like during the fur-trade era.
