Driving
Dubois is located on US Highway 26/287, the Wyoming Centennial Scenic Byway, between Riverton or Lander to the east (about 75 miles) and Jackson to the west (about 85 miles). Heading west toward Dubois, you’ll cross the Wind River Indian Reservation, home to the descendants of Lewis and Clark’s native guide Sacajawea. (She’s buried there.) Closer to town, you’ll pass eye-popping red peaks and striped badlands. Driving eastbound, Dubois is 83 easy miles from the south entrance of Yellowstone Park at Moran WY, along a newly upgraded road that crosses the Continental Diviide over a spectacular mountain pass.
