Una rara vislumbre de la antigua historia india te espera, con petroglifos indios aut\u00e9nticos, preservados en un sitio \u00fanico llamado Castle Gardens. Los petroglifos, grabados en piedra, fueron utilizados por culturas pasadas como formas de registrar la historia y compartir historias. Castle Gardens est\u00e1 a 46 millas al este del borde sur de Riverton. La mitad del viaje es en caminos de tierra, lo que hace que el viaje sea m\u00e1s largo de lo que indica el kilometraje. Planifica al menos 1.5 horas para llegar all\u00e1.<\/p>\n

Viaja hacia el sur desde Riverton por la Hwy. 789 hasta su intersecci\u00f3n con la Hwy. 136, conocida localmente como Gas Hills Road. Gira a la izquierda y dir\u00edgete hacia el este, pasando la intersecci\u00f3n con la Hwy. 135, que est\u00e1 a 8\/10 de milla desde el giro a 136. Contin\u00faa conduciendo hacia el este en 136, pasando formaciones de arenisca.<\/p>\n

Despu\u00e9s de conducir 35 millas en la Hwy. 136, gira a la izquierda hacia un camino de tierra nivelado hacia Castle Gardens. En 6 millas, un letrero de la Oficina de Administraci\u00f3n de Tierras (BLM) indica un giro a la derecha hacia otro camino de tierra, indicando que Castle Gardens est\u00e1 a 5 millas. Ese tramo de 5 millas de camino secundario recibe poco mantenimiento. Durante los meses de verano seco, los viajeros no deber\u00edan tener problemas para conducir. En invierno y primavera, las \u00faltimas 3 millas de este camino pueden estar nevadas o demasiado embarradas para conducir. Cuando llegues a la cima de la colina y mires hacia abajo el \u00fanico Castle Gardens, el viaje habr\u00e1 valido la pena. El sitio de petroglifos de Castle Gardens ha sido designado en el Registro Nacional de Lugares Hist\u00f3ricos. Un sendero de senderismo sin pavimento lleva a los visitantes a los petroglifos. Dedica al menos 1 hora para caminar alrededor del sitio.<\/p>\n

Mina de Uranio Gas Hills y Riverton Museum<\/h4>\n

Para un viaje secundario corto, despu\u00e9s de salir de Castle Gardens y regresar al camino pavimentado, puedes visitar las minas de uranio Gas Hills girando a la izquierda y conduciendo otras 10 millas hacia el este. Hay informaci\u00f3n m\u00e1s detallada sobre la industria minera de Riverton disponible en el Riverton Museum en 700 E. Park Ave. Llama\u00a0307-856-2665<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0para horarios de temporada.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\n

1838 Rendezvous Site<\/h4>\n

The confluence of the Big and Little Wind Rivers is the preserved site of the 1838 Mountain Man Rendezvous, where trappers came to trade their furs and partake in several days of merriment. Riverton has the only site of an original trapper's rendezvous not developed by modern man. The 1838 Rendezvous site, which stretches 100 acres along the Wind River, looks much like it did in 1838, the final year a \"big\" rendezvous was held. The site is easily reached from the intersection of Main Street and Federal Boulevard. Travel 5 blocks south on Federal and turn left on East Monroe Avenue for 1 mile. At the intersection with Smith Road, turn right. Follow the signs to a dirt road into a gravel storage area and in 2\/10ths of a mile, you'll come to the buck and rail fence and a wooded area that is the 1838 site.<\/p>\n

At the site, a walking path with stone markings and signs relate tales about famed mountain men. The developed trail can be walked in 30 to 40 minutes. The site is open to the public year-round. The 1838 Rendezvous Association is dedicated to the preservation of the site and the re-enactment of the rendezvous. For a week every July, members don period clothing and relive the days of yore.<\/p>\n

The Wind River Heritage Center<\/h4>\n

The center is located at 1075 S. Federal Blvd in Riverton. The center features selected displays from the Jake Korrel Collection of more than 40 wildlife mounts plus historic traps dating from 1804. The center is open 10-4 Monday through Saturday. Free admission. Call\u00a0307-856-0706<\/a>\u00a0para informaci\u00f3n adicional.<\/p>\n

Mountain Man History<\/h4>\n

Perhaps the most well-known mountain man to attend the 1838 Rendezvous was Jim Bridger, who began traveling to the Rocky Mountain region in 1822, when he was 18. He spent 20 years in the West as an explorer, trapper and scout and he is credited with being the first white man to discover the Great Salt Lake in 1824. In an 1828 trapping expedition along the Wind River, a cache of 150 furs, stored at the junction of the Big Wind River and what was then called the Popo Agie River, was stolen from Jim Bridger and his party. Bridger established Fort Bridger, pioneered the Bridger Trail, and shares his namesake with Bridger Pass, which crosses the Continental Divide.<\/p>\n<\/details>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
