Baker Mountain is a Шаблон:Convert mountain summit in Grand County, Colorado, United States.
Description
Baker Mountain is the 15th-highest peak of the Never Summer Mountains which are a subrange of the Rocky Mountains.[1] The mountain is situated on the western boundary of Rocky Mountain National Park and the west side of the peak is in the Never Summer Wilderness, on land managed by Arapaho National Forest. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains into headwaters of the Colorado River except for a portion of which is diverted by the Grand Ditch. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises Шаблон:Convert above the Kawuneeche Valley in Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert above Baker Gulch in 0.6 mile (1 km).
History
The mountain is named for John R. Baker who made the first ascent of the summit in 1875.[2] The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1932 by the United States Board on Geographic Names,[3][4] and named in association with Baker Gulch which had been reported in publications since at least 1906.[5]
Climate
According to the Köppen climate classification system, Baker Mountain is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers.[6] Due to its altitude, it receives precipitation all year, as snow in winter, and as thunderstorms in summer, with a dry period in late spring.
