Nature
Rainbow Mountain is a broad glaciated peak in British Columbia’s Pacific Ranges that forms the northeastern wall of the Callaghan Valley, about 9 kilometers northwest of Whistler in the Sea to Sky region. Its proximity to the resort town has made it a popular destination for summer hiking and for winter snowshoeing and ski touring. The mountain’s environment is strongly shaped by the wet coastal climate of western North America, as Pacific weather systems rise over the Coast Mountains and bring heavy precipitation. Higher elevations receive substantial snowfall in colder months, and winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C, with wind chill below −30 °C.
