Mount Tupper

Mount Tupper is a 2,804-metre peak in British Columbia's Selkirk Mountains within Glacier National Park, near Rogers Pass and the Canadian Pacific Railway route through the range. Formerly called Hermit Mountain, it was renamed in 1887 for Sir Charles Tupper, then minister of Railways and Canals during the siting and construction of the CPR line through the Selkirks and later prime minister. The mountain is also notable for the Raspberry Rising cave system: in 2013, an eight-person team led by Nicholaus Vieira explored nearly a kilometre of its passages, climbing two waterfalls and passing four sumps without reaching the end. Its runoff drains to the Beaver River.
