Etymology

The mountain was named for James H. Bourn, a prospector in this area whose name was misunderstood by a county clerk.[2] Bourn and Alexander Campbell staked a claim on the southern end of Bowen Mountain on July 10, 1875, and called it Wolverine Mine.[3] The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[4]

Climate

According to the Köppen climate classification system, Bowen Mountain is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers.[5] 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.
