Nature
Mount Matier is the highest peak of the Joffre Group in Joffre Lakes Provincial Park in southwestern British Columbia. Rising 2,783 metres in the Coast Mountains, its broad alpine mass is ringed by glaciers, including Matier Glacier, Anniversary Glacier, Twin One Glacier, and Hartzell Glacier, and its runoff feeds creeks that flow to the Lillooet River. The mountain lies in a subarctic climate influenced by Pacific weather systems, bringing heavy precipitation, deep winter snow, and severe cold. First climbed on August 18, 1957, it was named for early prospector Tom Matier and officially adopted in 1966.
