John Colter, famed among the famous breed of "Mountain Men," passed this landmark late in the fall of 1807 while on business for the fur trader Manuel Lisa. Searching for Indians in order to conduct trade, he also hunted salt caves reputedly located near headwaters of this stream then known as the "sinking water."
On his journey Colter not only discovered this later named Shoshone River but became the first recorded white man to visit the upper Wind River, Jackson's Hole and Yellowstone park. His lonely trek, compounding the normal dangers of savage wilderness by mid winter passage of a broad and lofty mountain range, lives in history and legend an epic of courageous exploration
