Description

This remote peak is situated less than three miles (4.8 km) east of Yellowstone National Park in the North Absaroka Wilderness, on land managed by Shoshone National Forest. It is part of the Absaroka Range which is a subrange of Rocky Mountains. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains north to Timber Creek and south to Papoose Creek, which are both part of the Yellowstone River drainage basin. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 2,900 feet (884 meters) above Papoose Creek in 1.4 miles (2.3 km). The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names, [2] and has appeared in publications since at least 1899. [4] This mountain has also been known as Papoose Peak and Papoose Benchmark. [2] [3]

Climate

According to the Köppen climate classification system, Indian Peak is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool to mild summers. [5] Winter temperatures can drop below 0 °F with wind chill factors below −10 °F.
