Gimli

Gimli is a 2,744-metre summit in the Valhalla Ranges of British Columbia’s Selkirk Mountains, within Valhalla Provincial Park near Slocan and Slocan Lake. Though only the sixth-highest peak in the range, it is especially notable for its dramatic local relief, rising about 1,500 metres above Mulvey Creek in just 1.5 kilometres and dominating nearby views. Its runoff feeds tributaries of the Slocan River. The name reflects a broader Valhalla-area tradition of Scandinavian mythology introduced on George Mercer Dawson’s 1890 Geological Survey of Canada map. Officially adopted as Mount Dag in 1971, the summit was renamed Gimli in 1998 after a request from local residents.
