Pagoda Mountain is a 13497feet mountain summit in Boulder County, Colorado, United States.
Pagoda Mountain is located one mile east of the Continental Divide in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains.[7] The mountain is situated within Rocky Mountain National Park and is the fifth-highest peak in Boulder County.[8] Precipitation runoff from the mountain's south slope drains to North St. Vrain Creek via Hunters Creek and the north slope drains to Glacier Creek which is a tributary of the Big Thompson River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1940abbr=offNaNabbr=off above Green Lake in one-half mile. The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1911 by the United States Board on Geographic Names and is so named because the mountain's shape resembles a pagoda.[4]
According to the Köppen climate classification system, Pagoda Mountain is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters and cool to warm summers.[9] 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.
