Nature
Meslilloet Mountain is a 1,990-metre summit in British Columbia’s Coquitlam Ranges, about 35 kilometres northeast of Vancouver. The highest point in the range and the second-highest in Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, it stands out less for absolute elevation than for dramatic local relief, rising more than 1,100 metres above Anne Lake in under 2 kilometres. Meltwater and runoff drain into Meslilloet and Hixon creeks, tributaries of the Indian River, and the glacier on its north slope is considered the closest glacier to Vancouver. Its marine west coast climate brings heavy precipitation, severe winters, and conditions that help sustain the glacier.
