So-named because of their proximity parallel to the sea coast. They extend through the province from Fraser River to Alaska and are a continuation of the Coast Range in the United States, where the name originated - probably with the early settlers. The highest peak in the BC portion of the mountain range is Mount Waddington - 13,260 ft. Source: Provincial Archives of BC "Place Names File" compiled 1945-1950 by A.G. Harvey from various sources, with subsequent additions" _________________________ .

Holland's 1976 physiographic work. Cordillera - all the mountains Mountains - groups of ranges Ranges - groups of individual named ranges Range - group of individual summits Mountain or peak - individual summit. So: Mount Waddington in the Waddington Range in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains of the Cordillera. That's the way the Canadian system works. _________________________ Bagging a cougar is one of the most enjoyable sporting feats a young man can accomplish

Did you know that the Seattle Public Library has a darn near complete set of AAJ and CAJ's!? That was news to me, but MEGA handy. Also, non-members are allowed to use the Mountaineer's Library in Magnuson Park. It's been a pretty redonkulous beta quest, but I was successful. Desire Mountain is NW of the Monarch Icefield, so access ends up being a little different. I've applied for a couple AAC grants to cover a helo drop off and pick up. We'll see!! Wish me luck! So whatever happened with Desire this summer Brianna? Especially considering half of Bella Coola was in flames over the summer. _________________________ Bagging a cougar is one of the most enjoyable sporting feats a young man can accomplish
