Nature
Siwhe Mountain is a prominent summit in southwestern British Columbia, in the Lillooet Ranges of the Coast Mountains near Stein Valley Nlaka'pamux Heritage Park. Though only the third-highest peak around the park and the fifth-highest in the range, it is notable for its dramatic relief, rising more than 2,250 metres above Stein Valley in just 5.5 kilometres. Its waters drain to Siwhe Creek and the Stein River, both feeding the Fraser River. Officially named in 1936 after nearby Siwhe Creek, the mountain likely saw its first ascent by prospectors. Its marine west coast climate brings heavy snow, severe winter cold, and supports a small glacier.
