Description

Jones Mountain is set approximately one mile east of the Continental Divide in the Collegiate Peaks which are a subrange of the Sawatch Range. [1] The peak is located 14.5 miles (23.3 km) west of the community of Buena Vista in the San Isabel National Forest. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains into tributaries of Cottonwood Creek which in turn is a tributary of the Arkansas River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 1,800 feet (549 m) above the creek's south fork in one mile (1.6 km). Chaffee County Road 306 traverses the northern base of this mountain near Cottonwood Pass. The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names. [3]
