Ramshorn Peak is a 10296abbr=offNaNabbr=off mountain summit in Gallatin County, Montana, United States.
Ramshorn Peak is located 35miles south of Bozeman in the Gallatin National Forest and the Hyalite Porcupine Buffalo Horn Wilderness Study Area.[1] The peak is the eighth-highest peak in the Gallatin Range which is a subrange of the Rocky Mountains.[1] Precipitation runoff from the mountain's west slope drains to the Gallatin River via Buffalo Horn Creek, whereas the other slopes drain into tributaries of the Yellowstone River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 2100abbr=offNaNabbr=off above Buffalo Horn Creek in 1miles. Petrified wood can be found on the peak as the mountain is set within the Gallatin Petrified Forest which is one of the largest petrified forests of the Eocene Epoch.[4] The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[3]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Ramshorn Peak is located in a subarctic climate zone characterized by long, usually very cold winters, and mild summers.[5] Winter temperatures can drop below 0 °F with wind chill factors below −10 °F.
