Roaring Mountain (8,152 feet (2,485 m)) is in Yellowstone National Park in the U.S. state of Wyoming.[1] Roaring Mountain was named for the numerous fumaroles on the western slope of the peak which during the early 1900s were loud enough to be heard for several miles.[3] Roaring Mountain is 5 miles (8.0 km) north of Norris Geyser Basin and south of Obsidian Cliff and is easily seen from park roads.

Der Roaring Mountain ist ein 2486 m hoher Berg im Yellowstone-Nationalpark im US-Bundesstaat Wyoming. Der Roaring Mountain wurde nach den zahlreichen Fumarolen am westlichen Hang des Gipfels benannt, die in den frühen 1900er Jahren laut genug waren, um mehrere Kilometer weit zu hören zu sein. Roaring Mountain liegt 8 km nördlich des Norris-Geysir-Becken und südlich des Obsidian Cliff. Die Grand Loop Road (U.S. Highway 89) führt am Fuße des Berges entlang.[1][2]
