Nature
Kings Peak is a mountain in Strathcona Provincial Park on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, located near Gold River, Elkhorn Mountain, and the Elk River access from Highway 28. It was named for James and Michael King, late 19th-century explorers associated with an expedition into this interior region around 1910, preserving part of Vancouver Island’s early exploration history. The mountain has become one of the island’s most frequently visited peaks, a prominence linked to its accessible location near the highway corridor and its setting within one of Vancouver Island’s principal mountain landscapes.
