Mount Meager

Mount Meager, also called The Cathedral and Q̓welq̓welústen, is a mountain in the Pacific Ranges of British Columbia’s Coast Mountains and the second highest peak of the Mount Meager massif, a cluster of coalescent stratovolcanoes in the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt. It is most noted for the 2010 Mount Meager landslide, when the mountain’s southern 2,554 m peak collapsed on August 6 in major rockfalls that became a huge debris flow. The slide dammed Meager Creek for about a day, formed a temporary lake, crossed the Lillooet River, destroyed a forestry road, and prompted evacuations downstream, including at Pemberton and Mount Currie.
