Pagoda Mountain is a  mountain summit in Boulder County, Colorado, United States.

Description 
Pagoda Mountain is located one mile east of the Continental Divide in the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The mountain is situated within Rocky Mountain National Park and is the fifth-highest peak in Boulder County. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's south slope drains to North St. Vrain Creek via Hunters Creek and the north slope drains to Glacier Creek which is a tributary of the Big Thompson River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises  above Green Lake in one-half mile. The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1911 by the United States Board on Geographic Names and is so named because the mountain's shape resembles a pagoda.

Climate 
According to the Köppen climate classification system, Pagoda Mountain is located in an alpine subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters and cool to warm summers. 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.
