Krag Peak is a mountain summit located in Baker County, Oregon, US. [1]
Krag Peak is located in the southern Wallowa Mountains. The double summit peak is situated within the Eagle Cap Wilderness on land managed by Wallowa–Whitman National Forest. [2] The 9,079-foot elevation (2,767 m) summit and slightly lower northwest peak (9,048 ft) ranks as the 42nd-highest mountain in Oregon, and third-highest in Baker County following Red Mountain and Rock Creek Butte. [3] [5] It ranks tied for 27th-highest in Oregon when 500-foot minimum topographic prominence is included as criteria. [2] [6] Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains west into East Fork Eagle Creek, and east to the Imnaha River via Cliff Creek. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises nearly 4,500 feet (1,400 meters) above East Fork Eagle Creek in approximately one mile. This landform's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names. [1]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Krag Peak is located in a subarctic climate zone characterized by long, usually very cold winters, and mild summers. [7] Winter temperatures can drop below −10 °F with wind chill factors below −20 °F. Most precipitation in the area is caused by orographic lift. Thunderstorms are common in the summer.

Highland Peak is a prominent 10,936-foot-elevation (3,333-meter) mountain summit located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in Alpine County of northern California, United States. It is situated 3.5 miles east of Ebbetts Pass in the Carson-Iceberg Wilderness, on land managed by Humboldt–Toiyabe National Forest. Although it ranks as the 680th-highest summit in California, it ranks 36th-highest of those with at least 500 meters of topographic prominence. Also, there is no higher peak than Highland Peak to the north within the Sierra Nevada. Highland Peak has a subsidiary South Peak, with one-half mile separation between summits. The Pacific Crest Trail traverses the western foot of this mountain, providing an approach option. Precipitation runoff from this mountain drains into tributaries of the East Fork Carson River.. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 2,900 feet above Noble Canyon in 1.6 mile (2.6 km).

It is situated nine miles northeast of the community of Ouray, in the Uncompahgre Wilderness, on land managed by Uncompahgre National Forest. It is part of the San Juan Mountains which are a subset of the Rocky Mountains, and is situated west of the Continental Divide. Coxcomb ranks as the 171st-highest peak in Colorado, and topographic relief is significant as the south aspect rises 2,000 feet above Wetterhorn Basin in approximately one mile, and 4,400 feet above Cow Creek in three miles. Neighbors include Precipice Peak 2.7 miles to the north, Redcliff one-half mile north, Matterhorn Peak 2.3 miles to the east-southeast, and nearest higher neighbor Wetterhorn Peak 1.8 mile to the southeast. The mountain's descriptive name, which has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names, was in use since at least 1906 when Henry Gannett published it in the Gazetteer of Colorado.
