Floe Peak

Floe Peak is a 3,006-metre limestone mountain in British Columbia’s Canadian Rockies, forming part of the Rockwall in the Vermilion Range along the western border of Kootenay National Park. Rising above Floe Lake and its great north cliffs, it helps shape one of the park’s most striking alpine settings and serves as a prominent backdrop for hikers on the Floe Lake Trail. Its waters drain east to Floe Creek and the Vermilion River and west to tributaries of the Kootenay River. The mountain was formed from ancient sedimentary rock later thrust eastward during the Laramide orogeny, and its subarctic climate brings long snowy winters and harsh conditions.
