The town of Dubois remains open for business to visitors, as does all of U.S. Hwy. 26/287 from Jackson Hole to Dubois.
The Lava Mountain Fire burning 20 miles northwest of Dubois is not affecting travel on the route between the quaint cowboy town and Yellowstone National Park over Togwotee Pass. According to InciWeb, the fire incident website providing the most up-to-date information about the fire, “Highway 26 remains open at this time with a no-stopping zone established in the vicinity of the fire.”
Businesses in the town of Dubois continue to operate normally and welcome visitors. For the most part, the Lava Mountain Fire is leaving this beautiful part of Wyoming unaffected for travel and outdoor recreation. There are many summer events happening, trails are available for hiking, biking, riding and ATV use, and easy access to blue-ribbon fishing.
