Mount Morfee

Mount Morfee, a 1,775-metre peak in British Columbia’s Northern Rocky Mountains, rises above Mackenzie as one of the area’s most prominent landmarks. Locally called Morfee Mountain, it was named for Royal Canadian Air Force Flight Lieutenant Alan Morfee, who carried out some of the region’s earliest aerial photography in the early 1930s; his name was also given to nearby lake, creek, and an island near Tofino. Easy access has shaped its modern reputation: Highway 39 and a gravel summit road support winter snowmobiling and summer hiking and biking. In July 2023, a new downhill bike trail system added 14 kilometres of trail and about 850 metres of descent.
