Nature
Rethel Mountain is a 2,408-metre summit in the Garibaldi Ranges of the Coast Mountains in southwestern British Columbia, in the northwestern part of Garibaldi Provincial Park near Whistler. Set among some of the park’s highest terrain, it stands near Wedgemount Lake, Wedgemount Glacier, Wedge Mountain, Mount Weart, and Parkhurst Mountain. Water from its slopes drains through Wedgemount Creek and Rethel Creek into the Green and Lillooet rivers. The mountain was named for Rethel station, a former stop on the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, and its name was officially adopted in 1978. Its marine west coast climate brings heavy precipitation, deep winter snow, and severe cold.
