Rainbow Peak peak
Rainbow Peak is a mountain peak at 3,543 ft in Chugach-Mountains, part of the Chugach Mountains range. Snoflo tracks live snowpack at nearby SNOTEL stations, streamflow at nearby USGS gauges, and a 15-day weather forecast for the peak's coordinates.
Mountain peaks at this elevation drive regional hydrology -- snowpack from peaks like this one feeds the streams and rivers below through spring runoff. Watch the nearby snowpack table for an estimate of what's currently sitting on the peak.
