Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox mountain
Crater Mountain is a Шаблон:Convert mountain summit located west of the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in Fresno County of northern California, United States.[1] It is situated in eastern Kings Canyon National Park, Шаблон:Convert northwest of the community of Independence, one mile immediately southwest of Pinchot Pass, and Шаблон:Convert southeast of Mount Ickes, which is the nearest higher neighbor. Other nearby peaks include Mount Wynne, Шаблон:Convert to the northeast, and Mount Cedric Wright, Шаблон:Convert to the southeast. Crater Mountain ranks as the 186th highest summit in California.[2] Topographic relief is significant as the west aspect rises Шаблон:Convert in less than one mile. The approach to this remote peak is made via the John Muir Trail which passes below the east aspect of the mountain. The first ascent of the summit was made July 19, 1922, by W. H. Ink, Meyers Butte, Frank Baxter, and Captain Wallace.[3] This mountain has no crater as the name implies.
Climate
According to the Köppen climate classification system, Crater Mountain is located in an alpine climate zone.[4] 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, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the range (orographic lift). Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains to Woods Creek which is a tributary of the South Fork Kings River.
