Anderson Peak is an 8,683-foot-elevation (2,647 meter) mountain summit in Placer County, California, United States.

Description

Anderson Peak is located Шаблон:Convert south-southeast of Donner Pass, on land managed by Tahoe National Forest. It is situated on the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, with precipitation runoff from the peak draining west to North Fork American River and east to the Truckee River via South Fork Cold Creek. Topographic relief is modest as the summit rises nearly Шаблон:Convert above North Fork American River in two miles. Neighbors include Mount Lincoln Шаблон:Convert to the northwest, and line parent Tinker Knob is Шаблон:Convert to the southeast. The Pacific Crest Trail traverses the peak, providing an approach option from Donner Pass or Palisades Tahoe. The Sierra Club's Benson Hut is set below the north face of the peak.[1] This landform's toponym has been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.[2]

Climate

According to the Köppen climate classification system, Anderson Peak is located in an alpine climate zone.[3] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean and travel east toward the Sierra Nevada mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks (orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the range.
