Nature
Mount Hatfield is a prominent peak on Manson Ridge in British Columbia's Canadian Cascades, rising sharply above Kippan Lakes and draining into tributaries of the Coquihalla and Nicolum rivers. First climbed in 1956 by Roy Mason and Joe Hutton, it was officially named in 1978 in honor of conservationist Harley Hatfield of Penticton and his father, Seaman Hatfield. The mountain is part of the Chilliwack batholith, formed 26 to 29 million years ago within the Pemberton Volcanic Belt, and its rugged granite ridges and U-shaped valleys were later sculpted by uplift, faulting, and repeated Pleistocene glaciation in the wet North Cascades climate.
