Grizzly Mountain

Grizzly Mountain is a 2,754-metre summit in Glacier National Park, British Columbia, in the Hermit Range of the Selkirk Mountains near Rogers Pass and visible from the Trans-Canada Highway. Its climbing history began on August 31, 1901, when John E. Bushnell, August S. Eggers, Karl Schuluneggar, and Friedrich Michel made the first ascent by the southeast couloir; later parties opened the north ridge in 1921 and the west ridge in 1933. Adopted in 1906 and re-approved in 1932, the mountain’s name reflected its position above Bear Creek, now Connaught Creek, and matched a local pattern of bear-themed names.
