Devastator Peak

Devastator Peak is a mountain in southwestern British Columbia, about 55 kilometers west of Bralorne, and the lowest and southernmost of the six subsidiary peaks of the Mount Meager massif. It is a dissected andesitic volcanic plug, the hardened core of a larger volcano whose outer material eroded away. Part of the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt within the broader Cascade Volcanic Arc, it produced thick andesite lava flows between about 0.5 and 1.0 million years ago; eroded remnants now form the layered crags of nearby Pylon Peak. Its slopes are highly unstable, with weak, hydrothermally altered felsic rocks contributing to repeated debris flows into Meager Creek drainage.
