Nature
The Silverthrone Group is a vast mountain complex in British Columbia’s Pacific Ranges, west of Mount Waddington, spanning about 60 kilometres and roughly 2,868 square kilometres. Bounded by major rivers, inlets, the Pacific Ocean, and nearby lake country, it includes more than 30 named mountains, with Silverthrone Mountain the highest at 2,865 metres. Its landscape is strongly shaped by the Ha-Iltzuk Icefield, giving the range its striking glaciated character. Known in print by 1933 and explored from at least 1900, the area drew surveyors and climbers for decades, including Don and Phyllis Munday, who made the first ascent of Silverthrone Mountain in 1936.
