Gimli Peak

Gimli Peak is a 2,806-metre summit in the Valhalla Ranges of the Selkirk Mountains in southeastern British Columbia, in the southern part of Valhalla Provincial Park near Mulvey Lakes. At 9,206 feet, it is the fourth-highest point in the range. Its name reflects a broader Scandinavian mythological naming pattern introduced by George Mercer Dawson on Geological Survey of Canada maps in the late 19th century; the peak appeared as Mount Gimli in 1900 before the official form Gimli Peak was adopted in 1998. In Norse mythology, Gimli is the foretold home of the righteous after Ragnarök. The mountain is also a noted climbing destination, especially for its classic South Ridge route.
