Unicorn Mountain

Unicorn Mountain is a 3010 m mountain in British Columbia, Canada.

Description
Unicorn Mountain is part of the Adamant Range which is a subrange of the Selkirk Mountains. It is located 83 km northwest of Golden along the west side of the Rocky Mountain Trench. Unicorn Mountain is glaciated with the Granite Glacier on the east slope. Precipitation runoff and glacial meltwater from the mountain's east slopes drains to Swan Creek, whereas the west slope drains into Austerity Creek, and both are tributaries of the Columbia River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,510 metres (4,954 ft) above Austerity Creek in 4 km. Unicorn Mountain is located west of the Bill Putnam hut which makes the mountain's slopes an excellent ski mountaineering destination. The mountain's descriptive toponym was officially adopted on March 4, 1965, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.

Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Unicorn Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers. Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C.
