Bannock Peak is a 10329abbr=offNaNabbr=off mountain summit in the southern section of the Gallatin Range in Yellowstone National Park, in the U.S. state of Wyoming. The peak ranks as the sixth-highest peak in the Gallatin Range.[1] Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains west into headwaters of the Gallatin River and east into Panther Creek which is a tributary of the Gardner River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises nearly 2000abbr=offNaNabbr=off above Panther Creek in 1miles. This mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1897 by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[3]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, the mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone characterized by long, usually very cold winters, and mild summers.[4] Winter temperatures can drop below 0 °F with wind chill factors below −10 °F.
