The Museum of the Mountain Man in Pinedale, Wyoming, was a real treat. As it turns out, the actual mountain men were clean shaven and not savage looking brutes. How do you think some of them were able to marry into respectable Native American families? They were just trying to make a living the hard way. Unfortunately, their success and ruin rode on the fortunes of the beaver pelt trade. When the fashion changed to silk hats, they were a thing of the past.
If you want to have a snow ball fight in the middle of May, head to the summit of Signal Mountain. By the way, there is really good cell phone reception up there. That and some amazing views.
