Parkview Mountain is the highest summit of the Rabbit Ears Range in the Rocky Mountains of North America. The mountain is on the Continental Divide in Routt National Forest about 3 miles (4.8 km) southwest of Willow Creek Pass.
From the summit a climber can see both Middle Park to the south and North Park to the North, hence the name of the Peak.
The southern slopes of the mountain were impacted by the 2020 East Troublesome Fire.
