Cowboy Town - DuBois, WY

---

From sunny southern Utah, we headed to snowy Dubois, WY. This real cowboy town is located just east of the Wind River Mountains in northwest Wyoming. A few days into our stay, we woke up to 6 inches of fresh snow. After a few days of really cold weather, we settled in to jeans and light jackets.

Our RV park was situated right next to the Wind River. Snowpack this winter was many times the normal amount, so we watched the river carefully, considering it was mere feet from our site. Deer practically lived in our campground. Did you know they eat dandelion flowers?

We took several drives along Forest Service roads to see elk, Rocky Mountain sheep, and moose. On several trips, we had to turn back prematurely because of either snow or deep mud. We drove over the Togwotee Pass up to Jackson one day and were amazed at the amount of snow still on the ground in the higher elevations. It was gorgeous!
