Mount Fairweather

Alaska owns two-thirds of Mount Fairweather in the Saint Elias Mountains. Its peak is located within Canada's Tatshenshini-Alsek Wilderness Provincial Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Mount Fairweather is the highest point in British Columbia as a result of this.

While James Cook named the peak Fairweather because of the exceptionally fine weather they were experiencing at the time, good weather is not something you should expect if you decide to visit this mountain. It, like the rest of the Saint Elias range, is plagued by severe weather and freezing temperatures.

Although it was named by Captain James Cook during his mission in 1931, this border mountain defies its name. Because of the devastating snowstorms and inadequate precipitation, it is the least favorite summit among climbers.
