Mount Fitzwilliam

Mount Robson Park, BC

2907m (9538 ft.) Located in the Rockingham Creek Valley south and east of Fitzwilliam Creek. Mount Robson Park, Major headwater Fraser River.

This impressive mountain dominates the view as one travels east along the Yellowhead Highway and the Fraser River towards Yellowhead Pass. Its most distinctive aspect is the "two-tone" colour scheme, dark at the top and light at the bottom. According to Ben Gadd, the lower half is dolomite whereas the upper half is of quartzite covered with lichen and that gives it a very dark gray colour.
