Hagwilget Peak

Hagwilget Peak is a 2,076-metre mountain in northern British Columbia and the northernmost summit of the Rocher Déboulé Range. Just south of Hazelton, it overlooks New Hazelton and rises about 1,770 metres above the surrounding valley, making it a prominent local landmark. Its waters drain toward both the Skeena and Bulkley rivers. The peak lies in a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, mild summers, and temperatures that can fall below −20 °C, with wind chill below −30 °C. Its recorded name evolved from Nil-ke-auda in 1879–80 to Awillgate Peak by 1917, before being officially standardized as Hagwilget Peak on 1 February 1963.
