Mount Grant (British Columbia)

Mount Grant is a 2,180-metre (7,150-foot) mountain summit located in the Canadian Cascades of southwestern British Columbia, Canada.

[1] The peak was named for Captain John M. Grant of the Royal Engineers by Fred Beckey in his Cascade Alpine Guide.

[2][3][4] During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.

Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.

As a result, the Cascade Mountains experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall.
