Mount Mahler is a 12,497-foot-elevation (3,809-meter) mountain summit in Jackson County, Colorado, United States.
Description
Mount Mahler is the eighth-highest peak of the Never Summer Mountains which are a subrange of the Rocky Mountains. The mountain is situated on the northern boundary of the Never Summer Wilderness, on land managed by Routt National Forest. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains into tributaries of the Michigan River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 2,250 feet (690 meters) above Silver Creek in one mile (1.6 km) and 1,830 feet (560 meters) above Lake Agnes in 0.6 mile (0.97 km).
Etymology
The mountain's toponym was officially adopted on October 18, 2006, by the United States Board on Geographic Names to honor Gustav Mahler (1860–1911), Austro-Bohemian Romantic composer and conductor.
Climate
According to the Köppen climate classification system, Mount Mahler is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers. 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.
