Mount Warlow is a 13,206-foot-elevation (4,025 meter) mountain summit located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of the crest of the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in Fresno County of northern California, United States.
The mountain is named after Chester H. Warlow (1889–1963), attorney, Fresno civic leader, and conservationist, who was instrumental in the creation of Kings Canyon National Park.
[6] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and 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 (orographic lift).
This climate until recently supported the Mount Warlow Glacier in the northwest cirque.
