The Bendor Range is a small but once-famous subrange of the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains, about It is approximately 7,000 square kilometres (2,700 sq mi) in area and about 40 km long (NW to SE) and about 18 km at its widest.

Its shafts plunge a mile beneath sea level under the range, starting at 3500' above.

The name "Bendor" is believed by some locally to be a Gaelic-French hybrid - ben d'or - mountain of gold (note Welsh: Pen d'awr means the same thing) - and while it does mean that, more or less, the name was conferred in honour of Bend Or, a famous racehorse of the 1890s.

The range has only a few small icefields, but a number of extremely high and (for climbers) difficult peaks.

At the northwest of the range, but mostly invisible from the towns below because of the terrain of its flanks, is Mount Truax 2,870 m (9,420 ft).
