Pinedale<\/strong><\/a> is a small town in Wyoming, the southern gateway to Jackson Hole (about a hour’s drive away).\u00a0 It’s situated at the base of the beautiful Wind River Mountains. \u00a0Pinedale has a population of about 2,000 residents and is an important outdoor adventure hub. \u00a0There’s a lot of natural country nearby for hiking, camping, backpacking, hunting and ATV adventures,\u00a0and hundreds of lakes for fishing and water sports. \u00a0The climate is subarctic because of its high altitude so winter is long and winter sports like snowmobiling, skating, snowboarding and skiing are very popular.<\/p>\n

An unusual local attraction is the Museum of the Mount<\/a>ai<\/a>n<\/a> Man<\/a><\/strong>,<\/strong> highlighting those rugged individuals who pioneered this region.\u00a0 The town hosts the Green River Rendezvous<\/strong>, a reenactment of historic fur trader gatherings. \u00a0During Rendezvous, rodeos are held in town, with all the fun family activities you find in that setting like carnival food, rides and the like.<\/p>\n

It’s a small town but, as I’ve learned since I started collecting signs, it definitely has a character all its own.\u00a0 Folks we met during our brief visit were friendly and helpful. There’s a lots of cowboys and outdoor adventurer around here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \t
