The Real West

Make sure to take a drive up Horse Creek, look for moose, elk, deer, and the occassional grizzly bear. Don't forget to take a spare tire and make sure you have a full tank of gas.

Stop at the Rustic Pine Tavern for a beer. It is the local watering hole and a delightful place to hear some great stories.

Quick Tips:

The museum and Big Horn Sheep center are the main attractions in town, so stop in to find out what made Dubois!

Pack plenty of clothes. Dubois can be hot or freezing cold (-20 F)...and sometimes it snows in July!

Best Way To Get Around:

Plenty of horses around...you just need to find someone willing to take you for a ride.

In the winter snowmobiling and dog-sledding are the most popular options.

Rooms in the main building as well as cabins available. Either choice is excellent and will not be a disappointment.

The main sitting room is like stepping back in time. The hotel owners are friendly and always willing to socialize.

Not gourmet, but really good on a cold day...or after a night on the town. Everything is served from pasta to buffalo burgers! Breakfast is the best meal of the day...especially the skillets!

Great place to check out the locals, it is not uncommon for everyone to know each other and conversations will go from table to table. Good place to find out where the best fishing is...or if you need directions to anyone's house they'll probably tell you!!!

The locals are friendly and always willing to dance on a Saturday night! They are famous for being warm and welcoming and they usually remember a face. It is the type of place that people return year after year.

The furniture is all made from knotted pine wood and it looks incredible. It can be a bit hard to drink in peace with hundreds of animals eyes staring at you...but the place is like a natural history museum!
