Climate
Devils Crags is located in an alpine climate zone.ENCYCLOPEDIA,weblink Climate of the Sierra Nevada, Encyclopædia Britannica, 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). Precipitation runoff from this mountain drains into tributaries of the Middle Fork Kings River.Gallery
