Nature
Corrie Peak is a 2,263-metre mountain in British Columbia's Garibaldi Provincial Park, on the southwest side of Cheakamus Lake within the Garibaldi Ranges of the Coast Mountains. It rises sharply above the lake, with 1,430 metres of elevation gain in just 3 kilometres, giving it notable topographic relief. Runoff from the mountain drains into Cheakamus Lake and the Cheakamus River watershed. Its name, given in 1916 by Scottish-born botanist John Davidson, comes from a Scottish term for a steep-sided mountain hollow, reflecting its alpine setting. Officially adopted in 1930, the name suits a peak shaped by a harsh marine west coast climate that also sustains the Corrie Glacier.
