Nature
Mount Sir Wilfrid Laurier is the highest peak in British Columbia’s Cariboo Mountains, rising in the Premier Range just west of Valemount in the province’s east-central interior. American mountaineer Allen Carpé originally called it Mount Titan, but in 1929 it was officially renamed for Sir Wilfrid Laurier, Canada’s seventh prime minister, who had died a decade earlier. The mountain’s present name joins one of the Cariboo Mountains’ most prominent summits to an important figure in Canadian political history.
