Canadian Mountain Peaks Quiz – Canada's Highest Summits

Canada's tallest peaks are in the far northwest, in the Saint Elias Mountains of Yukon. Mount Logan is the highest, rising nearly 6,000 meters above huge icefields in Kluane National Park.

Farther south, the Coast Mountains of British Columbia hold Mount Waddington, while the Canadian Rockies include famous peaks like Mount Robson, Mount Assiniboine and Mount Columbia. Each has attracted climbers for over a century.

These mountains are remote and dangerous, with extreme cold, storms and avalanches. They are also important ecosystems for grizzly bears, mountain goats and glaciers that feed rivers across western Canada.
