HIGH PLAINS REGIONAL RENDEZVOUS
Pembina Gorge, Rendezvous Region, Near Walhalla, North Dakota
We invite everyone to attend the 2025 HPRR in north-east North Dakota. We will be having our Event in the Pembina Gorge in the shadow of a 1000 foot tall cliff. This area is called the Rendezvous Region as it had two trading posts, Gringas and Kittson, located within miles of where we will be setup, and the Metis would move fur through the area on oxcarts down to St. Paul. The tracks can still be seen on private land a couple of miles from the site. The Pembina River will be the southern border.
