Tallest Mountains in British Columbia

Tallest Mountains in British Columbia

British Columbia is the heavyweight champion of Canadian mountains. If you’ve spent any time in the Rockies or the Coast Mountains, you know the scale here is just different. The province is packed with jagged, glacier-covered peaks that make most other ranges look like foothills. Most of the real giants are tucked away in the Fairweather Range near the Alaska border or deep in the Coast Mountains. You’re looking at serious elevation, massive icefields, and some of the most rugged terrain in North America.
