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.
Named after Chief Washakie in 1878 of the Shoshone tribe making the fort the only U.S military outpost named after a Native American. The fort remained a military outpost until 1909 when it was decommissioned and turned over to the Shoshone Indian Agency. The graves of Washakie and Lewis and Clark Expedition guide Sacajawea are located on the grounds of the fort. The site lies within the present-day Wind River Reservation...

8/10 Very Good! (809 reviews)
The room was nice, the shower was very nice. The room could have used another chair and the chair in the room should be replaced it was very stained. Lastly the room was freezing when we arrivedand it took awhile to warm up.
