Nature
Mount Alfred rises in the Pacific Ranges of British Columbia’s Coast Mountains above the Queen Reach at the head of Jervis Inlet. It is the highest mainland summit between Jervis and Toba inlets and has a topographic prominence of 1,318 metres. Named during the 1860 survey by HMS Plumper, it honors Alfred Edward, a son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert who later became Duke of Edinburgh. The mountain is also known for its dramatic glacial setting and Alfred Creek Falls, an unofficially named drop of about 700 metres feeding the Skwawka River. Its first recorded ascent came in 1929 by Arthur Tinniswood Dalton and Percy Williams Easthope.
