Grand Turk is a 13167feet mountain summit in San Juan County, Colorado, United States. It is located 3miles southwest of the community of Silverton, on land managed by San Juan National Forest. Grand Turk is 8miles west of the Continental Divide in the San Juan Mountains which are a subrange of the Rocky Mountains. Grand Turk is visible from viewpoints along Highway 550. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Animas River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises nearly 4000abbr=offNaNabbr=off above the river in 1.75 mile (2.82 km). Neighbors include Bear Mountain, 2.25 miles (3.62 km) to the northwest, and line parent Sultan Mountain, 0.67 mile (1.08 km) to the north-northwest.[2] The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names,[3] and has been recorded in publications since at least 1901.[4] [5]
According to the Köppen climate classification system, Grand Turk is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers.[6] 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.
