Tetrahedron Peak

Tetrahedron Peak is a prominent mountain in British Columbia’s Tetrahedron Provincial Park and one of the highest peaks on the Sunshine Coast. Rising 1,739 metres above sea level with a prominence of 1,164 metres, it takes its name from its distinctive four-faced shape, like a geometric tetrahedron. The name was proposed by University of British Columbia geology professor Bill Mathews, who climbed the peak in the 1950s. The mountain lies in the marine west coast climate zone, where Pacific weather systems meet the Coast Mountains and bring heavy precipitation, especially snowfall in winter, along with temperatures that can drop well below freezing.
