Dubois, Wyoming, is a remote destination just east of Yellowstone National Park. Because of its secluded location, the town and its surrounding area is known for spectacular views and varied wildlife. Though the town itself is home to less than 1,000 residents, there is never a shortage of things to do, especially where the outdoors is concerned.

- National Museum of Military Vehicles: The award-winning National Museum of Military Vehicles is a world-class military history museum which opened southeast of Dubois, WY in August 2020. Inside the 160,000 square foot museum, visitors will find nearly five hundred fully restored military vehicles, artillery pieces, naval vessels and aircraft dating from 1897 to the present with a current emphasis on the American experience in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The focus of the museum is to tell the stories of how these vehicles were used and to remember the valor of service members who fought, and sometimes died, in them.
