Kendall Peak is a 13,455-foot-elevation (4,101-meter) mountain summit in San Juan County, Colorado, United States.
Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,270 feet (390 meters) above Silver Lake in one-half mile (0.8 km) and 4,250 feet (1,300 meters) above the Animas River valley in 2.7 miles (4.3 km).
[5] The mountain's "Kendall Peak" toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names,[2] and has been recorded in publications since at least 1906.
[8][9] The toponym "Mount Kendall" was listed by Henry Gannett in his 1884 "A Dictionary of Altitudes in the United States" as having been named by the Hayden and Wheeler surveys.
[11] 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.
