Tentang gunung ini
Wind River Peak (4126m) is a fault-block mountain in the Rocky Mountains, United States. Grade 3/5: strenuous climb with technical sections. A high Rocky Mountain summit with classic tundra and talus approaches, popular among high-altitude peak baggers.
The topographic contour map of Wind River Peak (4126m) in the Rocky Mountains shows contours reflecting the unique geological character of the terrain. Contour lines are drawn at 100m intervals, with index contours (thicker lines) every 500m. The hypsometric color scale ranges from green (lower elevations) through yellow and orange to white (highest elevations near the 4,126m summit). Above 3,200m, the estimated snow line at this latitude, contours transition to cooler tones indicating permanent snow and ice.
Profil ketinggian
The east–west elevation profile of Wind River Peak (4126m) in the Rocky Mountains shows the terrain cross-section through the summit at 4,126m. The color gradient transitions from green (valley floor) to white (summit zone), with the red summit marker indicating the peak. The dashed blue snow line at 3,200m marks the approximate elevation above which permanent snow persists year-round.
Frequently Asked Questions
The contour map uses a hypsometric color scale where green represents lower elevations, yellow and orange indicate mid-range altitudes, and white marks the highest zones near the summit. Thicker contour lines (index contours) are drawn at wider intervals to help you quickly estimate elevation.
The contour map of Wind River Peak (4126m) uses a 100m contour interval. This means each line represents a 100m change in elevation. Closely spaced contours indicate steeper terrain, while widely spaced contours show gentler slopes.
The elevation profile is a cross-section through Wind River Peak (4126m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 4,126m. It reveals the mountain's shape, steepness, and relative height compared to the surrounding terrain. The horizontal axis shows distance in kilometers from the peak.
At Wind River Peak (4126m)'s latitude (43°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 3,200m. Since Wind River Peak (4126m) reaches 4,126m, about 926m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.
