Mount Washburn

With a peak elevation of 10,243 feet (3,107 m) and panoramic views for about 20 to 50 miles (32 to 80 km), Mount Washburn is a popular day-hiking destination in Yellowstone National Park. Located just a few miles north of Canyon Village, Mount Washburn is the remnant of volcanic activity that took place long before the formation of the present canyon. At the top, check out interpretive exhibits inside the base of the fire lookout station - one of three in the park - and enjoy the view.
