Nature
Canoe Mountain is a prominent 2,651-metre summit in British Columbia near Valemount, at the northern end of the Malton Range in the Monashee Mountains. The Southern Yellowhead Highway runs along its western base, and the mountain stands out for its steep relief, rising about 1,920 metres above Kinbasket Lake in only 5 kilometres. Its slopes drain west to Camp Creek and the Canoe River and east to Kinbasket Lake. A cirque marks its north face, while an unpaved fire service road climbs the gentler west slope to a telecommunications tower on the summit. Its long-used local name was officially adopted in 1976.
