The Mount Washburn Trail via Dunraven Pass is a 3.5-mile out-and-back route located in Wyoming. This trail offers hikers a moderate outing through scenic terrain typical of the region. The out-and-back format means you'll retrace your path on the return journey, making it straightforward to navigate.

Mount Washburn itself is a notable destination for hikers seeking elevated vistas and cooler temperatures as you gain altitude throughout your hike. This route is suitable for hikers looking for a shorter day hike experience without requiring a full loop or shuttle arrangement. The relatively modest mileage makes it accessible for a range of fitness levels, though the specifics of terrain difficulty may vary based on weather conditions and seasonal changes. The Dunraven Pass area offers a good introduction to hiking in Wyoming's mountain regions. Plan for adequate water and sun protection, and check current conditions before heading out, as weather in mountain areas can change rapidly.
