Английская Википедия:Howard Mountain
Howard Mountain is a Шаблон:Convert summit in Colorado, United States.
Description
Howard Mountain is situated on the Continental Divide along the boundary shared by Grand County and Jackson County.[1] It is the second-highest peak of the Never Summer Mountains which are a subrange of the Rocky Mountains.[2][3] The mountain is situated on the western boundary of Rocky Mountain National Park and is visible from Trail Ridge Road within the park. The west side of the peak is in the Never Summer Wilderness which is managed by Medicine Bow–Routt National Forest, and the peak is the highest point of the wilderness.[3] Precipitation runoff from the mountain's west slope drains into the South Fork of the Michigan River and the east slope drains into headwaters of the Colorado River except a portion of which is diverted by the Grand Ditch. The counterintuitive direction of water flow is because the Continental Divide forms a loop in this area, whereby the peak's west slope runoff flows to the Atlantic Ocean and the east slope to the Pacific. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over Шаблон:Convert above the Colorado River in Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert above the South Fork Michigan River in Шаблон:Convert.
Climate
According to the Köppen climate classification system, Howard Mountain is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers.[4] 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.

Etymology
The namesake of the mountain's toponym is a mystery as it was applied on early maps,[5] perhaps it was named for an early prospector in this area.[6] The toponym was officially adopted in 1932 by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[7]
