Larkins Peak

Larkins Peak is a 6661 ft mountain summit in Shoshone County, Idaho, United States.

Description
Larkins Peak is part of the Clearwater Mountains which are a subrange of the Rocky Mountains. The remote mountain is situated 45 mi northeast of Orofino, Idaho, in the Mallard-Larkins Pioneer Area, on land managed by Idaho Panhandle National Forests. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains into tributaries of the North Fork Clearwater River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1140. ft above headwaters of Larkins Creek in 0.4 mi. This landform's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names. Larkins Creek, Larkins Peak, and Larkins Lake are probably named after John Larkins, a pioneering homesteader and trapper who ranged over this area and was long since deceased by 1919 when the toponyms were officially adopted.

Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Larkins Peak is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool to warm summers. Winter temperatures can drop below 0 °F with wind chill factors below −10 °F.
