Falcor PeakFalcor Peak is a mountain summit in Fresno County, California, United States.DescriptionFalcor Peak is located in Kings Canyon National Park and approximately one mile west of the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. It is situated west of the community of Independence and east of Mount Rixford, which is the nearest higher peak. Access to the peak is possible via the John [Muir Trail] which crosses Glen Pass one mile to the west of the peak. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains north into Rae Lakes and south to Bullfrog Lake. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises above Bullfrog Lake in. The peak ranks as the 204th-highest peak in California. The first ascent of the summit was made on August 19, 1900, by John Fox along with nine others. This landform's toponym has not been officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.ClimateAccording to the Köppen climate classification system, Falcor Peak is located in an alpine climate zone. Weather fronts originating in the Pacific Ocean travel east toward the Sierra Nevada mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall onto the range.
