Marmot Mountain

Marmot Mountain is a 2,103-metre peak in British Columbia’s Skagit Range, part of the North Cascades, rising southeast of Hope along the northern edge of Skagit Valley Provincial Park. It is notable for its steep local relief, climbing sharply above the Skagit River and nearby valleys over a short horizontal distance. Its north slope drains through Laforgue Creek to the Sumallo River, while its south and east slopes drain to the Skagit River. The mountain stands within a landscape shaped by tectonic uplift, faulting, volcanic processes, terrane accretion, and later Pleistocene glaciation. Its name appeared on a Geological Survey of Canada map by 1912 and was officially adopted in 1936.
