Tenquille Mountain

Tenquille Mountain is a 2,391-metre peak in British Columbia’s Coast Mountains, north of Tenquille Pass and Tenquille Lake above the Pemberton Valley. Its steep rise from the Lillooet River valley gives it striking prominence, and water from its slopes drains into several creeks and rivers across a broad watershed. The area lies on the unceded territory of the Lil'wat and N'Quatqua and is regarded as an important spiritual, cultural, and food-gathering place. Named for nearby Tenquille Pass, the mountain’s name was officially adopted in 1979. Its subarctic climate, heavy snowfall, and wildlife-rich habitat include an unnamed glacier and species such as grizzly bears, black bears, mountain goats, wolverines, wolves, and deer.
