Nature
Far Mountain is the highest of more than 13 peaks in British Columbia's Ilgachuz Range, in the western part of Itcha Ilgachuz Provincial Park. It lies within the Anahim Volcanic Belt, where the Ilgachuz Range forms one of three major shield volcanoes created as the North American Plate moved over the Anahim hotspot. Often compared with the hotspot volcanism of the Hawaiian Islands, this geologic setting makes Far Mountain significant not only as a prominent summit in the park but also as part of a broader volcanic system in western Canada.
