Mount Evans

Mount Evans is a remote, glaciated summit in British Columbia’s Coast Mountains near the head of Bute Inlet. More striking for its sheer local relief than for its absolute elevation, it rises about 2,230 metres above the Homathko River valley within just 5 kilometres, dominating a steep landscape whose runoff and glacial meltwater feed the Homathko and Teaquahan rivers. Two unnamed glaciers cling to its slopes in the wet, cold marine west coast climate, where heavy Pacific precipitation and severe winter conditions are common. The name appeared by 1867 on British Admiralty chart 580, and the Geographical Names Board of Canada officially adopted the toponym and location on January 15, 1987.
