Mount Fellows is a 4476feet mountain summit in Alaska, United States.
Mount Fellows is located 5miles east of Denali National Park headquarters and 8.25miles northwest of Pyramid Mountain in the Alaska Range.[4] Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Nenana River, which in turn is part of the Tanana River drainage basin. Although modest in elevation, topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 2,800 feet (914 m) above the Nenana River in 1.75miles. The mountain's name was reported in 1950 by the USGS,[6] and the toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[4]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Fellows is located in a subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[7] Winter temperatures can drop below 0 °F with wind chill factors below −20 °F. The months May through June offer the most favorable weather for viewing.
