The Climb up Mt. Washburn
Friday 6/5 we headed up the Mt. Washburn trail for the 2.5 mile hike that climbed 1500 ft to the top at 10,234 ft. Spectacular views of the Grand Canyon of YS and YS Lake. Storms threatened all around but be we made it up and back without getting to wet. Cold & windy though. The fire tower & station had bathrooms and an observation deck. Washburn is named after Gen. Washburn who was the leader of one of the early expedition to YS that eventually led to the area being designated the first National Park.
