Lydia Mountain is a 2,100-metre peak in the Tantalus Range of southwestern British Columbia, within Tantalus Provincial Park, northwest of Squamish. Though not the range’s highest summit, it is notable for steep local relief, rising about 1,400 metres above Red Tusk Creek in roughly three kilometres. Its runoff drains east to the Squamish River and west to the Clowhom River, and the Crescent Glacier covers its east and north slopes. First climbed in 1914 by Basil Darling and Allan Morkill, it was officially named in 1957 as part of the Tantalus Range’s Greek mythology naming theme tied to the land of Lydia and Tantalus.
