2024 Rendezvous

The dates for the 2024 Rendezvous are April 25-28, 2024!

---

The reason for this Rendezvous is to recreate a particular time in the history of this country, and keep alive its culture, from clothing to weapons, hunting to food.  Of course, we do understand that not everyone is interested in full reenactment when they come to Rondy.

However,  we would really appreciate it if those who enjoy the experience we provide would seriously consider wearing a capote or frock over their modern clothing, if only to keep the feeling of the Rendezvous “in the period”.  We’d like it if period attire would be visible more than modern clothing if you’re in the public view.  Of course, primitive attire is always required in the primitive camps. We would also appreciate seeing everyone in their period attire at our closing council as well.

Thank you for your consideration of these important points.

Our site of 120 acres at approximately 5000 feet elevation is located at the base of the pristine Pine Valley Mountains in Southern Utah. Our site’s name is Stone Cliff Canyon and is nestled among the piñon pines and juniper/cedar trees; it has a panoramic view of the mountains and easy access to the site from a main highway.

With the weather in Southern Utah perfect for a fantastic spring Rendezvous; we invite everyone to join us. We have warm days and cool to cold nights. Buckskins are worn during the day, with capotes, campfires and lodge stoves a must at night. The backdrop for our Rendezvous includes the beauty of snow on the mountain with the majestic red and purple mountains that surround the site. The Shoot ranges will test even the seasoned shooter, our Primitive Archery and Knife & Hawk events are unsurpassed anywhere in the West. Make our Rendezvous your spring getaway!

Just a mile back down the highway to the south lies Baker Reservoir, which gives our Trapping Party and friends another great outdoor option: FISH! Bring your tackle and eat fish for dinner for a change! The Reservoir has native German Browns as well as Rainbow Trout. There are a small number of Forest Service “tin-tipi” sites there as well; these are first come first served.

Period of Dress is Pre-1840 (encouraged but not required in Tin-Tipi).

Site access: located about 1/2 mile off main highway – Utah State Hwy 18 – accessible over a good dirt road. There is a choice of Primitive or Tin-Tipi camp areas; a Horse Camp is also available. It is a dry camp with firewood available; burn barrels or above-ground fires only unless exception approved (Primitive only). Primitive campers: please park and walk through to find your camp area; this will eliminate vehicle congestion in the primitive areas. There is a 1 hour camp unloading time from WEDNESDAY on. If you come early please do not leave your vehicles in the primitive areas after set up. We want to keep a Rendezvous atmosphere at all times.

THIS IS A THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY RENDEZVOUS with the following events: Rifle Walk Thru, Pistol Walk Thru, Shotgun Shoot, Smoothbore, Silhouette Shoot, Rabbit Run, Primitive Archery, Knife & Hawk, Lance, Kids Games, Children’s “just for fun” Archery, Children’s “competition” Archery (Children’s long bows only), Candy Cannon, and other events.
