Hurricane Mesa is an 11069feet mountain summit in Park County, Wyoming, United States.
This remote mountain is located approximately 6miles east of Yellowstone National Park in the North Absaroka Wilderness, on land managed by Shoshone National Forest. It is part of the Absaroka Range which is a subrange of Rocky Mountains. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of Crandall Creek which is part of the Yellowstone River drainage basin. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises nearly 3700abbr=offNaNabbr=off above North Fork Crandall Creek in 1.25miles. The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names,[3] and has appeared in publications since at least 1925.[5]
According to the Köppen climate classification system, Hurricane Mesa is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool to mild summers.[6] Winter temperatures can drop below 0 °F with wind chill factors below −10 °F.
