I rember weltys store from when I was a kid back in the sixtys, there was a big mounted rainbow trout caught by a cool old guy called old man trout out of brooks lake. Him and this other older guy would be the first and last to leave brooks lake every year. The other guys name was red. We would spend two months at brooks lake every summer. Old man trout and red were my friends when I was little, I still miss them after all these years)

Great place on my backpacking trip. Keep it small. That smallness magnifies the beauty of it Small and beautyful.

Most beautiful town I've ever visited! We stayed at Crooked Creek Guest House and LOVED it there. Best customer service and yummy food at their restaurant. Cant wait to visit Wyoming, and of course Yellowstone, again!♥️

I just moved here to dubois with my 2 daughters from Kansas love it so far.. Good clean mountain air, nice folks.

I was born in wakeeny k.s and moved to a small town in CO. For fifty years and left because of all of the people that moved their, been in Ellis k.s for two years. Looking to move back to the mountains as soon as possible.

Dubois is a great little town. I worked as a bartender at The Rustic Pine Tavern ,the Outlaw Saloon and the Ramshorn Inn back in the late 1970’s. Also worked for the gentleman who owned the rv park before it was an rv park. At the time I lived there it was a Motel. Nice video👍

It's so weird. It's so remote you wouldn't think so, but it's very beautiful there.

Brilliant filming and commentary that has greatly inspired me for a planned trip from England to Wyoming & Montana in September. I will certainly add Dubois to my list of places to visit as it looks my kind of town. Thank you for your efforts and your inspiration.

It's been a while, but still have wonderful thoughts of our stay there.

I hitchhiked through Dubois many times over the years. Met some great people there. The Cowboy Cafe is a good place to eat. They have a real nice library. My book HIGH PLAINS DRIFTER: A HITCHHIKING JOURNEY ACROSS AMERICA is at that library.

Thinking heavily about Dubois, its a runner up to Rawlins. I'm a truck driver and have an apartment in Kentucky, nice place but I'm in love with Wyoming!

You are correct that the French pronunciation of Dubois (dew-BWAH) does not apply to this Wyoming town, but neither does your choice of dew-BOYS. The correct pronunciation is DEW-boys. Any Wyoming resident would have been pleased to give you the correct pronunciation.

If you pronounce "dew" like dew on the grass you still don't quite have it. Doo--as in Doobie Brothers-- boice--as in choice is the correct wrong way it's been pronounced ever since the US Postal System decided that Never Sweat just wouldn't cut it and renamed the town 'Dubois'

I LOVE Dubois!! Have been thru there many times, and 2 years ago I stayed there for a week for Susan K. Black painting seminar, and I also stayed at the Longhorn ( in a room tho). The Cowboy Cafe has the BEST and I mean the BEST pies!! On our yearly drive from staying at Togwotee back home to MI, we would drive thru and I always made my husband stop so I could buy several different slices for the road! But I think their food is very good- you must have had a bad day there. Dreaming of going back!

My Wife and i have been in DuBois several times. Almost bought a small business in town. (a small set of small cabins used mostly by hunters during the winter months) This was in the early 1990,s. Love that town and it's history. Very friendly people.

Might take a drive up there from Dubois next time we're there. I see it's about an hour away. Can you give a bit more info on the site and things to see at the campground?

Dubois is surrounded by an interesting area of badlands that I think is on par with some of the scenery you can find in Badlands National Park in South Dakota. There’s several interesting trails that go into the badlands around Dubois that are worth seeing. The contrast in landscape between the badlands and the towering mountains is a stunning landscape.

Been in Dubois on hunting trips, Hunted Big Horn Sheep on Middle Mountain above Dubois way above timber line. Watched 2 big Bull Elk fight it out, what a sight .

Dubois, although not a gate town to Grand Teton/Yellowstone, is still on a major route to get too those two parks, so they take pride in looking "Western". Also lots of very rich folks live in and around Dubois now, since Jackson has gone to the Billionaires.Just thought you should know.

We go here every summer and like to fish. The Wind River is beautiful and with some exploring in the area, there are lots of things to do and places to go. Dubois is not a tourist town, it is a cow town. Don't expect to buy tons of tourist trinkets. The people are friendly and have their own events and customs. Just go and enjoy the scenery and the quiet.

Haven't noticed any speed traps . But have seen police with vehicles pulled over . I'm sure they had a good reason.

You got it pretty close but when pronouncing the name the emphasis is on the DU and not the boys! I live in Fremont County, Wyoming and hav so for over 60 years and have been to Duois a couple of hundred times, easily! A beautiful town with great people! The Mountain Man Rendezvous they used to have was a great amount of fun, even for those who weren't Buckskinners!

that name looks familiar

We are subscribers here thank you for the video I cannot wait to go there.
