Black Mountain is a 10941abbr=offNaNabbr=off summit located in Park County, Montana, United States.[3]
Black Mountain is located in the Absaroka Range which is a subrange of the Rocky Mountains.[1] It is situated 5miles southeast of Pine Creek, Montana, and 13miles south-southeast of Livingston. The peak is set within the Absaroka–Beartooth Wilderness on land managed by Gallatin National Forest.[1] Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into headwaters of Pine Creek which is a tributary of the Yellowstone River. Topographic relief is significant as the west aspect rises over 4300abbr=offNaNabbr=off above South Fork Pine Creek in 1.2 mile, and the north aspect rises 1900abbr=offNaNabbr=off above Pine Creek Lake in three-quarters mile. The mountain's descriptive toponym was officially adopted in 1923 by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[3]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Black Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone characterized by long, usually very cold winters, and short, cool to mild summers.[4] Winter temperatures can drop below −10 °F with wind chill factors below −30 °F.
