2017 Map of Mount Washburn

About this map

Mt Washburn serves as the focal point for this section of the Washburn Range, where the high-altitude terrain is marked by thermal activity and steep drainages. The landscape is defined by the thermal features of the Washburn Hot Springs and Inkpot Spring, which feed into the rugged canyons. To the southeast, the topography drops sharply into the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, where the Yellowstone River carves through the volcanic geology. The map shows a transition from vehicle access on the Grand Loop Road to a dense network of backcountry routes, including the Chittenden Road-Mount Washburn Trail and the Seven Mile Hole Trail. These paths connect significant summits like Dunraven Peak and Hedges Peak, illustrating the 21st-century management of wilderness access within Yellowstone National Park.
