About Pinedale:
Nestled at 7,175 feet in a scenic alpine valley, Pinedale is surrounded by three majestic mountain ranges—the Wind River, Wyoming, and Gros Ventre Mountains. As part of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the Bridger-Teton National Forest offers endless outdoor activities, with stunning landscapes and abundant wildlife.
Rich in history, Pinedale was shaped by the Rocky Mountain Fur Trade and is home to the nation's oldest cattle drive, the Green River Drift. Here, cowboys still guide cattle through town in June and October! The Green River Rendezvous was an annual event in the 1830s. Mountain Men, Trappers, Travelers and Indians all gathered in a valley "below the Green" river and bartered, traded, sold, and swapped various items such as skins, pelts, guns, jewelry and whatever else they needed. It continues to this day with people coming from all over to see the home-town parade, experience the pageant, see how the people who shaped the rugged west made there lasting impression and mark on our town.
Nature lovers will appreciate the nearby alpine lakes, perfect for fishing, water sports, and relaxation. Pinedale is also on the Path of the Pronghorn, where you can witness one of the last great animal migrations in the Western Hemisphere.
In town, you’ll find a warm community, local shops, restaurants, and attractions like the Museum of the Mountain Man and the Pinedale Aquatic Center. With its blend of outdoor adventure, rich history, and friendly locals, it’s easy to see why we call Pinedale home.
