Golden Ears (peaks)

Golden Ears is the name of the double summit that lies north of Maple Ridge, British Columbia and is visible from most of the western Lower Mainland.

There is confusion about the name, because of the twin summits the peak exhibits.

Many people believe[vague] that the mountain is named because it looks like ears which become golden in the sunset light.

In the 1930s or 1940s the government of the day renamed the entire area to Mount Blanshard, and gave Edge Peak its name, named the southernmost summit Blanshard Peak, and conferred the official name Golden Ears to the 1,716 m (5,630 ft) peak with the twin summit.

[2][3] People in the Lower Mainland have always referred to the area, the park and the peak as Golden Ears.
