Sheep Mountain is a 10552abbr=offNaNabbr=off mountain summit in Park County, Montana, United States.
Sheep Mountain is located 6miles north of Gardiner, Montana, in the northern Absaroka Range, which is a subrange of the Rocky Mountains.[1] It is set in the Absaroka–Beartooth Wilderness on land managed by Gallatin National Forest.[1] Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Yellowstone River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 2000abbr=offNaNabbr=off above Bassett Creek in 1miles and over 5400abbr=offNaNabbr=off above the Yellowstone River in 4miles. The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[3] This peak should not be confused with the other Sheep Mountain also in Park County, Montana, but in the Gallatin Range.
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Sheep Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone characterized by long, usually very cold winters, and mild summers.[5] Winter temperatures can drop below 0 °F with wind chill factors below −10 °F.
