Mount Dawson

Mount Dawson is a prominent massif in British Columbia’s Selkirk Mountains, within Glacier National Park southeast of Rogers Pass. At 3,377 metres (11,079 feet), it ranks among the province’s highest peaks and is one of the park’s dominant mountains. Its double summit includes Hasler Peak, the highest point in Glacier National Park and second highest in the Selkirks, and Feuz Peak. Dawson Glacier lies on its eastern flank, reflecting the area’s strongly glaciated landscape. Named in 1888 by Reverend W. S. Green for geologist George Mercer Dawson, the mountain is also shaped by a subarctic climate of cold, snowy winters and mild summers.
