Deception Peak

Deception Peak is a 2,233-metre mountain in Garibaldi Provincial Park, southeast of Garibaldi Lake in British Columbia’s Garibaldi Ranges, about 72 kilometres north of Vancouver. Rising roughly 750 metres in just two kilometres from the lake, it forms part of the park’s striking steep relief, and its runoff flows into Garibaldi Lake. Neal Carter first climbed and named the peak in 1922, and the name was officially adopted in 1930. The mountain’s marine west coast climate brings heavy Pacific precipitation, especially in winter, sustaining nearby glaciers on its northeast, south, and southeast slopes and bringing severe cold.
