21, so check in when you arrive. Trail maps, ride sign-up sheets and
other info available at check in. Arrivals prior to the 21st okay but
still need to check in. We will have spotters to help you find a
suitable parking place. There are several corrals on a first-come
basis, some area for electric fences or foot picketing depending upon
attendance, limited trees for high lining so consider lining between
trailers. If you plan to arrive after dark, let us know so we can
assist in finding you a camp spot.

There is a FS fee campground adjacent to the main Rendezvous area which
is available for trailer and tent camping. No horses allowed in
campground. $5.00 per night charge.

Federal Hwy 26/789, Riverton, WY.

Horses
Coggins, health certificates and brand inspections needed if coming from
out of state. WY horsemen need brand inspections when crossing county
lines. Recommend shod stock as some trails are moderately rocky.
Dogs
No loose dogs! All dogs must be on a leash - even at your own
campsite. No dogs, even if leashed, allowed in catering area.
Trailboss/ride leader will decide if dogs can go on rides.
Please clean up after your dog!
Bears
FS food storage regulations apply. No processed horse feed or human
food left unattended, including coolers, during the day. All food
items and garbage stored securely at night. Firearms discouraged - if
you are concerned, bring bear spray. This is a popular, well-used camp
area and the chances of a bear encounter are little to none. Another
suggestion to ward off bears is to slather one of your party with bacon
grease and stake outside your camp as a detractor!
Food
Bring your own food and drinking water.
TBA
Rides
Groups to single individual. Some groups rides will be guided,
sign-up available with a limit of 20 riders per group. Numerous water
crossings on all rides so recommend schooling your horses accordingly.
Example: Frontier Creek ride (tentative) to the Petrified Forest is
about 20 miles total, up and back, so recommended for "in condition" gaited
or other good traveling animals.
