Nature
Mount James Turner is a prominent summit in British Columbia's Garibaldi Ranges, within Garibaldi Provincial Park east of Whistler. The park's fourth-highest peak, it is distinguished by steep relief, rising sharply above Billygoat Creek and dominating nearby valleys. Its runoff feeds Billygoat and Chaos creeks, tributaries of the Lillooet River, and its marine west coast climate brings heavy precipitation, deep winter snow, and glaciers such as the Turner, Berna, and Chaos. Neal Carter and Charles Townsend first climbed it on September 12, 1923. Carter named it for Rev. James Turner, and the name was officially adopted in 1930.
