Canoe Mountain is a mountain summit in British Columbia, Canada.
Description Canoe Mountain is south-southeast of the community of Valemount, at the northern end of the Malton Range, which is a subset of the Monashee Mountains. The Southern Yellowhead Highway traverses the western base of the mountain. Precipitation runoff from Canoe Mountain drains west into Camp Creek which is a tributary of the Canoe River, as well as east into Kinbasket Lake. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises above the lake in . The steep north aspect of the mountain holds a cirque, whereas an unpaved fire service road climbs the modest west slope to a telecommunications tower at the top. The mountain's long-established local name was officially adopted 16 November 1976 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
Climate Based on the Köppen climate classification, Canoe Mountain is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers. Temperatures in winter can drop below −20°C with wind chill factors below −30°C.
