Cleveland Peak is a 13,414-foot (4,089 m) mountain summit in Saguache County, Colorado, United States.

Description

Cleveland Peak is set in the Sangre de Cristo Range which is a subrange of the Rocky Mountains. [2] The mountain is located on the boundary shared by Sangre de Cristo Wilderness and Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. [3] Precipitation runoff from the mountain's eastern slopes drains to Sand Creek, the west slope drains into Pole and Deadman creeks, and all three flow into the San Luis Valley. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,700 feet (518 m) above Deadman Lakes in one-half mile (0.8 km) and nearly 4,600 feet (1,402 m) above Sand Creek in 2.5 miles (4.0 km). The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names. [4]

Climate

According to the Köppen climate classification system, Cleveland Peak has an alpine climate with cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers. [6] Due to its altitude, it receives precipitation all year, as snow in winter and as thunderstorms in summer, with a dry period in late spring. Climbers can expect afternoon rain, hail, and lightning from the seasonal monsoon in late July and August.
