The mountain is located seven miles (11 km) southeast of the community of Breckenridge and one mile (1.6 km) east-southeast of Boreas Pass, on land managed by Pike National Forest.

Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains into tributaries of Tarryall Creek which flows to the South Platte River.

Topographic relief is modest as the summit rises over 2,000 feet (610 m) in one mile (1.6 km).

The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.

[7] Due to its altitude, it receives precipitation all year, as snow in winter and as thunderstorms in summer, with a dry period in late spring.
