Fort Washakie Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

I was visiting new found friends on the Wind River Indian Reservation when I unexpectedly stumbled across this. Since I had read so much about her, I was thankful to have made this discovery. Sacajawea, helped lead Lewis and Clark's expedition to the Pacific Ocean.

If you are driving through Fort Washakie make sure to stop and see the grave of Sacajawea and her son. Located not far off the highway in a lovely cemetery, this is an easy, quick excursion and a great place to stretch your legs and get a little US history. Her grave is located just up the hill from the parking area.

9.2/10 Wonderful! (851 reviews)
Staff information was vague and the pool and hot tub were closed and they didn’t have any answers for us. That’s why we booked that hotel was for the pool and hot tub. The water pressure was very low and the chain on the toilet kept falling off had to fix it three times.

8/10 Very Good! (815 reviews)
The rim was okay. Not very comfortable and the coffee pot still has coffee in it from the previous people who stayed there. The staff was very nice. Good price and allows dogs with a small pet fee. Quiet hotel close to stores and restaurants.
