Nature
Castle Towers Mountain is a triple-summit peak on the east side of Garibaldi Lake in southwestern British Columbia, within the Coast Mountains. Its name reflects its form: members of the BC Mountaineering Club gave it that name after the first ascent in August 1911 because of its castle-like appearance. The mountain stands in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America, where Pacific weather systems rise over the Coast Mountains and bring heavy precipitation. Winters are particularly snowy, and conditions can be harsh, with temperatures falling below −20 °C and wind chills below −30 °C.
