Klowa Mountain is a 2527abbr=offNaNabbr=off summit in British Columbia, Canada.
Klowa Mountain is located 11km (07miles) southwest of Lytton in the Lillooet Ranges of the Coast Mountains.[1] Precipitation runoff from the peak's south slope drains to Kwoiek Creek, whereas the north slope drains to Nikaia Creek, and both are tributaries of the nearby Fraser River.[1] Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,725 metres (5,660 ft) above Kwoiek Creek in approximately 3km (02miles). The toponym was officially adopted on January 17, 1958, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada and is an indigenous word meaning "green."
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Klowa Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone of western North America.[4] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall. As a result, the Coast Mountains experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. The months July through September offer the most favorable weather for climbing Klowa Mountain.
