Nature
Resplendent Mountain, or Mount Resplendent, is a peak in the Canadian Rockies at the north end of Mount Robson Provincial Park in British Columbia. With nearby Mount Robson, it forms one of the region’s classic panoramas, visible from Via Rail trains and Highway 16. Arthur P. Coleman named the mountain, and Arthur O. Wheeler later pointed to its east side, shining white with snow from top to bottom, as the reason the name suited it so well. The peak also holds an important place in Canadian Rockies climbing and ski mountaineering, with a first ascent in 1911 and Peter L. Parson’s solo first ski ascent in 1930.
