Decker Mountain is a 2,421-metre flat-topped peak in Garibaldi Provincial Park in southwestern British Columbia, in the Spearhead Range of the Coast Mountains near Whistler. Its name refers to its two-decked layers and broad summit, and the spelling was chosen for euphony before formal adoption in 1965 after a submission by Dick Culbert. First climbed in 1954 by a University of British Columbia Varsity Outdoor Club party, it later became a frequent objective on the Spearhead Traverse. The mountain lies in a marine west coast climate with heavy Pacific precipitation, and its runoff and glacial melt feed nearby creek systems.
