'''Wyoming Highway 13''' ('''WYO&nbsp;13''') is a {{convert|17.76|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}} [[Wyoming]] [[state highway]] known as '''Arlington Road''' in eastern [[Carbon County, Wyoming|Carbon]] and western [[Albany County, Wyoming|Albany]] counties.
'''Wyoming State Route 13''' is a [[Wyoming]] [[State Road]] known as Arlington Road. WY 13 is an East-West route (Southwest-Northeast Route) that runs from [[Interstate 80 (Wyoming)|I-80]] in [[Arlington, Wyoming|Arlington]] northeast to [[Rock River, Wyoming|Rock River]] where it has its east end at [[U.S. Route 30 (Wyoming)|US 30]] / [[U.S. Route 287 (Wyoming)|US 287]]. WY 13 passes through [[McFadden, Wyoming|McFadden]]. WY 13 begins in [[Carbon County, Wyoming|Carbon County]] and runs 9.29 miles until it enters [[Albany County, Wyoming|Albany County]] and then continues another 8.47 miles to its east end. (Mileposts increase from east to west along WY 13.) According to Rocky Mountain Roads, the Arlington exit (Exit 272) off Interstate 80 is known to be one of the worst sections along the entire transcontinental freeway in terms of wind, ice, and snow. Interstate 80 is called the "Snow Chi Minh Trail" by some because of the constant blowing snow conditions in the winter. The Interstate is frequently closed due to wind and snow. In addition to that, as recently as February 2002, Exit 272 was not marked as Wyoming 13, even though that route begins at this exit.
