Введение
Гора Уошберн, высота 10 219 футов (3115 м), — выдающаяся горная вершина в хребте Уошберн, расположенном в Национальном парке Йеллоустоун, штат Вайоминг, США. Вершина была названа в 1870 году в честь Генри Д. Уошберна, руководителя экспедиции Уошберна — Лангфорда — Дуана. Хребет Уошберн — один из двух горных массивов, полностью расположенных в границах Йеллоустоуна.
Mountain of the Rocky Mountains
Mount Washburn, elevation 10219 feet (3115 m), is a prominent mountain peak in the Washburn Range in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States. The peak was named in 1870 to honor Henry D. Washburn, leader of the Washburn–Langford–Doane Expedition. The Washburn Range is one of two mountains ranges completely within the boundaries of Yellowstone.

История
29 августа 1870 года члены экспедиции Washburn, Langford и Doane поднялись на вершину, которую они назвали горой Washburn в честь руководителя экспедиции Генри Д. Washburn. Приводится отрывок из описания лейтенанта Густавуса Чейни Doane:
On August 29, 1870, members of the Washburn Langford Doane Expedition ascended the peak they named Mount Washburn after their expedition leader, Henry D. Washburn. A portion of Lt. Gustavus Cheyney Doane's description is quoted below:
style=font size:smaller|The view from the summit is beyond all adequate description. Looking northward from the base of the mountain the great plateau stretches away to the front and left with its innumerable groves and sparkling waters, a variegated landscape of surpassing beauty, bounded on its extreme verge by the cañons of the Yellowstone. The pure atmosphere of this lofty region causes every outline of tree, rock or lakelet to be visible with wonderful distinctness, and objects twenty miles away appear as if very near at hand. Still further to the left the snowy ranges on the headwaters of Gardiner's river stretch away to the westward, joining those on the head of the Gallatin, and forming, with the Elephant's Back, a continuous chain, bending constantly to the south, the rim of the Yellowstone Basin. On the verge of the horizon appear, like mole hills in the distance, and far below, the white summits above the Gallatin Valley. These never thaw during the summer months, though several thousand feet lower than where we now stand upon the bare granite and no snow visible near, save n the depths of shaded ravines. Beyond the plateau to the right front is the deep valley of the East Fork bearing away eastward, and still beyond, ragged volcanic peaks, heaped in inextricable confusion, as far as the limit of vision extends. On the east, close beneath our feet, yawns the immense gulf of the Grand Cañon, cutting away the bases of two mountains in forcing a passage through the range. Its yellow walls divide the landscape nearly in a straight line to the junction of Warm Spring Creek below. The ragged edges of the chasm are from two hundred to five hundred yards apart, its depth so profound that the river bed is no where visible. No sound reaches the ear from the bottom of the abyss; the sun's rays are reflected on the further wall and then lost in the darkness below. The mind struggles and then falls back upon itself despairing in the effort to grasp by a single thought the idea of its immensity. Beyond, a gentle declivity, sloping from the summit of the broken range, extends to the limit of vision, a wilderness of unbroken pine forest.|Gustavus C. Doane, August 29, 1870
Mount Washburn became a very popular tourist attraction early in the park's history. Many tourist accounts tell of a trip to the summit of Mount Washburn. In 1879, Mrs. Elizabeth D. Wickes of Boulder, Montana, in a party of eight men and five ladies, spent six weeks touring the park. Her account of Mount Washburn follows:
style=font size:smaller|The next day's sun found us well on our way to Mount Washburn, where we met the line of perpetual snow—it was very dirty, the snow, not the line, and we played snowball while we picked bluebells to press in our notebooks. Mount Washburn being ten thousand feet about the sea level is a station in the primary and secondary triangulation. On its rock riven peak was a tin mustard box containing the autographs of some fifty persons, who among the many tourist since 1871, were the only ones who had sufficient time and patience to climb to the very top. If we were not with distinguished persons, our autographs were [nevertheless] placed above those of Belknap, Marcy, Schurz, Sherman, John Boyd and others.|Mrs L. D. Wickes, 1879
In 1914, two years before automobiles were allowed in Yellowstone, noted author Elbert Hubbard and his wife Alice spent two weeks touring Yellowstone. In a short article written after the trip—A Little Journey to the Yellowstone Hubbard described his visit to Mount Washburn. style=font size:smaller|From the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone to Mount Washburn is a drive of ten miles. Evidently the Government has employed the best engineers in laying out that road, and intelligent supervision has been given to its construction and maintenance. It is an exhilarating experience to drive to an altitude of over ten thousand feet above sea level. It is not quite so interesting to walk it, although you must walk as well as ride in order to get the greatest possible benefit, for the air is crisp and light, and the walk uphill keeps blood circulating. From the tip top of Mount Washburn you can see the world in much of its glory. It is an entrancing view. You are in love with living. You want to do more of it. You plan to do big things when you get down into the work again.|Elbert Hubbard, 1914

С основания горы, глядя на север, открывается вид на огромное плато, простирающееся вперед и влево с бесчисленными рощами и сверкающими водами – пестрый ландшафт непревзойденной красоты, ограниченный на дальнем крае каньонами Йеллоустоуна. Чистая атмосфера этого высокогорья позволяет видеть с удивительной четкостью каждый контур деревьев, скал или небольших озер, а объекты в двадцати милях кажутся совсем близкими. Еще дальше слева снежные хребты в истоках реки Гардинер тянутся на запад, соединяясь с хребтами реки Галлатин и образуя вместе со «Спиной Слона» непрерывную цепь, постоянно изгибающуюся к югу – край Йеллоустонского бассейна. На горизонте, словно далекие холмы, а внизу – белые вершины над долиной Галлатин. Они не тают даже летом, хотя находятся на несколько тысяч футов ниже нас, на голой гранитной скале, и рядом не видно снега, разве что в глубине затененных ущелий. За плато, справа впереди, лежит глубокая долина Ист-Форк, уходящая на восток, а еще дальше – хаотичное нагромождение изрыгавшихся вулканических пиков, насколько хватает глаз. На востоке, прямо под ногами, зияет огромная пропасть Большого Каньона, рассекающая подножия двух гор и пробивая себе путь сквозь хребет. Его желтые стены почти по прямой линии делят пейзаж до слияния с Теплым Ручьем. Расстояние между краями ущелья варьируется от двухсот до пятисот ярдов, а глубина настолько велика, что дна реки нигде не видно. Никакой звук не доносится из бездны; солнечные лучи отражаются от дальней стены и исчезают в темноте. Разум пытается охватить необъятность этого места, но терпит неудачу. За ним, по склону разрушенного хребта, простирается до горизонта дикая местность, покрытая непроходимым сосновым лесом.

На следующий день солнце застало нас на пути к горе Washburn, где мы встретили полосу вечного снега – он был очень грязным, снег, а не полоса, и мы играли в снежки, собирая колокольчики, чтобы засушить их в своих блокнотах. Гора Washburn, расположенная на высоте около десяти тысяч футов над уровнем моря, является станцией первичной и вторичной триангуляции. На ее скалистой вершине находилась жестяная коробка из-под горчицы, содержащая автографы около пятидесяти человек, которые, среди множества туристов с 1871 года, были единственными, у кого было достаточно времени и терпения, чтобы подняться на самую вершину. Даже если мы не были в компании известных личностей, наши автографы были помещены выше подписей Белкнапа, Марси, Шурца, Шермана, Джона Бойда и других.

style=font size:smaller|The view from the summit is beyond all adequate description. Looking northward from the base of the mountain the great plateau stretches away to the front and left with its innumerable groves and sparkling waters, a variegated landscape of surpassing beauty, bounded on its extreme verge by the cañons of the Yellowstone. The pure atmosphere of this lofty region causes every outline of tree, rock or lakelet to be visible with wonderful distinctness, and objects twenty miles away appear as if very near at hand. Still further to the left the snowy ranges on the headwaters of Gardiner's river stretch away to the westward, joining those on the head of the Gallatin, and forming, with the Elephant's Back, a continuous chain, bending constantly to the south, the rim of the Yellowstone Basin. On the verge of the horizon appear, like mole hills in the distance, and far below, the white summits above the Gallatin Valley. These never thaw during the summer months, though several thousand feet lower than where we now stand upon the bare granite and no snow visible near, save n the depths of shaded ravines. Beyond the plateau to the right front is the deep valley of the East Fork bearing away eastward, and still beyond, ragged volcanic peaks, heaped in inextricable confusion, as far as the limit of vision extends. On the east, close beneath our feet, yawns the immense gulf of the Grand Cañon, cutting away the bases of two mountains in forcing a passage through the range. Its yellow walls divide the landscape nearly in a straight line to the junction of Warm Spring Creek below. The ragged edges of the chasm are from two hundred to five hundred yards apart, its depth so profound that the river bed is no where visible. No sound reaches the ear from the bottom of the abyss; the sun's rays are reflected on the further wall and then lost in the darkness below. The mind struggles and then falls back upon itself despairing in the effort to grasp by a single thought the idea of its immensity.

Mount Washburn became a very popular tourist attraction early in the park's history. Many tourist accounts tell of a trip to the summit of Mount Washburn. In 1879, Mrs. Elizabeth D. Wickes of Boulder, Montana, in a party of eight men and five ladies, spent six weeks touring the park. Her account of Mount Washburn follows:

В 1914 году, за два года до того, как автомобилям было разрешено въезжать в Йеллоустон, известный писатель Альберт Хаббард и его жена Элис провели две недели, путешествуя по Йеллоустону. В короткой статье, написанной после поездки – «Небольшое путешествие в Йеллоустон» Хаббард описал свой визит на гору Washburn:

Дорога от Большого Каньона Йеллоустоуна до горы Washburn составляет десять миль. Очевидно, что правительство привлекло лучших инженеров к проектированию этой дороги, и ее строительству и содержанию уделялось пристальное внимание. Подъем на высоту более десяти тысяч футов над уровнем моря – это захватывающий опыт. Подниматься пешком не так интересно, хотя для получения максимальной пользы необходимо и ходить, и ездить, ведь воздух свеж и легок, а подъем в гору поддерживает кровообращение. С вершины горы Washburn можно увидеть мир во всей его красе. Это завораживающий вид. Ты влюблен в жизнь. Ты хочешь жить дальше. Ты планируешь совершать великие дела, когда вернешься к работе.

Тропы Маунт-Уошберн
Виды с вершины открываются на большую часть северной территории Йеллоустонского национального парка, а в ясную погоду также виден хребет Тетон. Горные тропы – одни из самых посещаемых в парке, поэтому летние походы могут быть многолюдными. Подъем высотой 425 метров на протяжении 5 километров делает маршрут от перевала Данревен до вершины умеренным. Другая тропа, поднимающаяся на 454 метра всего за 4 километра, начинается от парковки Читтенден. На вершине расположена одна из трех действующих пожарных наблюдательных вышек Йеллоустона. На первом этаже находится небольшой центр для посетителей и туалеты, на втором – смотровая площадка, а на верхнем этаже – жилье рейнджера (доступ для публики закрыт).
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 (425 m) in 3 mile (5 km), the hike from Dunraven Pass to the summit is moderate. Another trail that climbs 1,491 feet (454 m) in only 2.25 mile (4 km) starts from the Chittenden parking area. 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 the second, and a ranger's residence on the top floor (closed to the public).
Геология
Гора Уошберн — древний вулкан. Она обрушилась в результате извержения, произошедшего либо от неё самой, либо от близлежащей Йеллоустоунской кальдеры.
Mount Washburn is an ancient volcano. It collapsed in an eruption from either it or the nearby Yellowstone Caldera.
Закрытие
В течение 2021 года все тропы на вершину горы Уошберн закрыты из-за строительных работ в районе смотровой площадки Каньон Оверлукс.
During 2021, all trails to the top of Mt. Washburn are closed due to construction projects in the Canyon Overlooks area.
