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.

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.
