Nature
Devils Couch is a 2,749-metre summit in the Valhalla Ranges of the Selkirk Mountains in southeastern British Columbia, within Valhalla Provincial Park near Slocan Lake and the village of Slocan. Its name reflects its shape, but the mountain was earlier called The Toboggan Slide by miners in the 1890s and King Tuts Couch in the 1920s, before Devils Couch was officially adopted in 1964. It stands in the Devils Range, where nearby peaks share a devil-themed naming pattern. The mountain has a subarctic climate with very cold, snowy winters and mild summers, and its runoff flows into Gwillim Creek and Evans Creek, tributaries of the Slocan River.
