MOUNT WASHBURN

'Mount Washburn' is in Yellowstone National Park, in the U.S. state of Wyoming.^[2] Views from the summit include much of the northern section of Yellowstone National Park and on clear days, the Teton Range is also visible. The mountain trails are some of the most frequented in the park, so summer hikes can be crowded. With an altitude gain of 1,393 feet (424 m) in 3 miles (4.8 km), the hike from Dunraven Pass to the summit is moderate. Another trail which climbs 1,491 feet (454 m) in only 2.25 miles (3.6 km) starts from the Chittenden parking area.^[3] One of three active Fire lookout towers in Yellowstone is located on the summit. There is a small Visitor Center and restrooms on the first floor, an observation deck on second and a ranger's residence on top floor (closed to the public).
