Mount Vancouver

Mount Vancouver is the eighth highest Canadian mountain and the fifteenth tallest in North America, straddling Glacier Bay National Park and Preserve in Alaska and Kluane National Park and Reserve in Yukon.

This peak is massive, rising nearly 3000 meters above the icefield. It was first climbed in 1949 and has only had 5-6 major ascents since then. On a north-south sloping crest, Mt. Vancouver has three summits, one of which, Good Neighbor Peak, is located on the international border.

Captain George Vancouver, a British Royal Navy officer who explored the southeast coast of Alaska from 1792 to 1794, was named after it by H. Dall in 1874. Walter Wood and his group became the first to reach the summit of Mount Vancouver. During the 1967 centennial expedition, where several summits were climbed and named for the first time, Good Neighbor Peak was given its name.
