Об этой горе
Thor Peak (WY) (3714m) is a fault-block mountain in the Rocky Mountains, United States. Grade 4/5: technical ascent requiring mountaineering skills. A prominent Rocky Mountain peak offering rewarding wilderness terrain and sweeping continental views.
The topographic contour map of Thor Peak (WY) (3714m) 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 3,714m summit). Above 3,200m, the estimated snow line at this latitude, contours transition to cooler tones indicating permanent snow and ice.

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 Thor Peak (WY) (3714m) 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 Thor Peak (WY) (3714m) from west to east, passing through the summit at 3,714m. 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 Thor Peak (WY) (3714m)'s latitude (44°), the estimated permanent snow line is approximately 3,200m. Since Thor Peak (WY) (3714m) reaches 3,714m, about 514m of the mountain extends above the snow line. This is shown as a dashed blue line on the elevation profile.
