Rendezvous' home the Fraser Valley has a rich history and unique
Rocky Mountain lifestyle. Because of its strategic location along
the west slope of the Continental Divide, this area became a major
crossroads for travelers exploring the West. Visitorsfrom Chief
Ouray of the Ute Tribe to President Dwight D. Eisenhower arrived
from all directions. They came by various means of transportation
from horseback on mountain trails, to the stagecoach, and
eventually by Highway 40 over Berthoud Pass. In fact, Rendezvous is
on the historic Cozens Ranch, the site of the first stagecoach stop
west of the Continental Divide in the 19th century. Over the years,
this simple rendezvous point for individuals became a gathering
place for larger groups and communities.
Today, Rendezvous carries on the century-old spirit of the area
and continues to be a prominent gathering place for family and
friends, respecting mountain traditions and the authentic heritage
of the Colorado West.
