Nature
Mount Goodsir, or the Goodsir Towers, is the highest peak in British Columbia’s Ottertail Range, within the Park Ranges of the Canadian Rockies. In Yoho National Park near Kootenay National Park, it is distinguished by two main summits: the higher South Tower and the North Tower, which rises to 3,525 metres. James Hector named the mountain in 1859 for brothers John Goodsir, an anatomy professor at the University of Edinburgh, and Harry Goodsir, a surgeon on HMS Erebus. Its twin-summit shape defines its character, and the long approach to both towers has made it known as a serious climb in a remote alpine setting.
