Blair Mountain is the highest summit of the White River Plateau in the Rocky Mountains of North America. The prominent 11465feet peak is located in White River National Forest, 28.2km (17.5miles) north by west (bearing 344°) of the City of Glenwood Springs in Garfield County, Colorado, United States.[1] [2] [3]
Blair Mountain in the White River Forest in Colorado was named for James Allison Blair who had been a Supervisor at White River Forest and died at the age of 52 in 1928. Held in high regard by his superiors for his service, the highest mountain in the area (formerly called 'Old Baldy') was renamed Blair Mountain in James Blair's honor.[4]
There is a weather station at Bison Lake, near the peak of Blair Mountain.
