Powell Peak
Powell Peak is a summit in Grand County, Colorado, in the United States.[3] With an elevation of 13,176 feet (4,016 m), Powell Peak is the 493rd-highest summit in the state of Colorado.[4] The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1961 by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[2] Precipitation runoff from the mountain's east slope drains into Glacier Creek which is a tributary of the Big Thompson River, and the west slope drains to Grand Lake via North Inlet.[5] 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.
