Stargaze in Dubois

Dubois, Wyoming

Description

The stars in this small lonely town at night are breathtaking. I would stay for a few nights just for the stargazing. Hands down the most stars I've ever photographed!

While staying in this small town in Wyoming I made it my mission to capture the gnarliest star picture I have ever taken. Being outside in the pitch black for over two hours the brilliant and magnificent Aurora Borealis made an appearance. It was by far the most breathtaking scenery I have ever witnessed. Out of all the astrophotography I have done this sets itself as number one on the list. Dubois is also an awesome mountain town with many activities like biking, hiking and trout fishing near by. Definitely would recommend to families looking for an awesome family vacation and also to explorers looking for an adventure!

Drive Forest Service Road 411

Taking a drive down this road is well worth the trip. The first 10 or so miles are not particularly noteworthy, but once you reach the first lake (Trail Lake) the road becomes a lot more scenic. You will also pass Torrey and Ring Lakes. All of these lakes offer fishing, camping, and picnicking opportunities. Once you pass Trail Lake keep your eye out on the rocks, especially the ones to your ri...

Hike to Lake Louise, Wind River Range

Start your journey headed South/East out of Dubois toward Riverton and Lander. Take a left onto Fish Hatchery Road. The road forks and you can either turn right and go to the CM Ranch, or left towards Ring Lake Ranch. Go left. Follow this road to the end. But keep your eye out for big horn sheep and ancient petroglyphs on the side of the road on the drive up! (Whenever you see a wooden post abo...

Backpack the Glacier Trail and Summit Gannett Peak

The trail to get to the summit of Gannett Peak is not for the faint of heart. It is a 50+ mile round trip with over 10,000 feet of elevation gain/loss. Late June through August are the best times to climb Gannett, but if you go too late in the summer and it has been a hot one, then there is a chance the snow bridge and the bergschund might be impassable. The Glacier Trail starts at the New Gl...

Frontier Creek Trail

Hike to Slide Lake

The Winds in Wyoming are incredibly beautiful and offer some of the most challenging, but rewarding hikes. And the popular northern trailhead, Green River Lakes, is one of the most spectacular entry points. GETTING THERE: There are only two ways to get to the Green River Lakes trailhead. and one is over Union Pass from Dubois. I would not recommend this route unless you have high clearance and ...

Hike to Shirley Lake

Shirley lake is a beautiful and not heavily traveled area in the Winds. To get there, you start at the Green River Lakes trailhead (8,000 ft) and head out on the Western shore of the lower lake. You can shave off three miles by canoeing to the end of the lake, if you like. But I prefer the hike. The Western side of the lake is gorgeous, mostly deep timber with babbling streams and creeks. It is...
