Mount Wood

This Yukon Territory peak is not to be confused with Mount Wood in the United States. This mountain has had no major climbs and very little is known about it.

The mountain was named after Zachary Taylor, which is a nice fact. The first to ascend this highly glaciated summit were Walter Wood, Anderson Blakewell, and Albert Jackman. Mt. Wood, on the other hand, is named after a Canadian geographer, not Walter Wood. Wood was the commissioner of the North West Mountain Police Department. James McArthur, the first to climb numerous peaks in the Yukon Territory, gave it this name.

Mount Wood, Canada's seventh highest mountain, can be seen all the way from Donjek River Bridge on the Alaska Highway. It is located on the northern boundary of Kluane National Park and is also known as Wood Peak. Only planes have access.

Elevation: 15886 feet (4,842 m)
