Green Mountain Trail is a 3.5-mile out-and-back hike in Wyoming's Huston Park Wilderness, part of the Brush Creek-Hayden Ranger District of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest. The trail is managed by the Forest Service and sits within designated wilderness, so it is a backcountry route rather than a developed one. The climb is gentle, with a total elevation gain of 332 feet from the low point at 9,992 feet to the high point at 10,281 feet. The trail is rated easy, and its natural surface makes it suitable for horses as well as hikers. The trail is open year-round, and the parking area is named Green Mountain. For a longer outing, Huston Park Trail lies about 1.2 miles away, and Green Mountain Falls is about 2.8 miles off. Paddlers can head to the North Fork Encampment River, about 4.2 miles away, and Bottle Creek Campground is about 4.9 miles away.
