Nature
Needle Peak is a 2,095-metre mountain in the Coquihalla Summit Recreation Area of southwestern British Columbia’s North Cascades, just southwest of Coquihalla Summit. Officially named on October 6, 1936 for its pointed shape, it is notable both for the rugged glaciated landscape around it and for its unusual accessibility from the Coquihalla Highway, which has made it popular for hiking, skiing, and snowshoeing. The mountain rises in a marine west coast climate with heavy rain and snow, severe winter cold, and the best climbing conditions usually from July through September. Its runoff feeds tributaries of the Coquihalla River.
