Cowhorn Mountain

Cowhorn Mountain is a prominent peak located in the Pacific Ranges mountain range of British Columbia, Canada. With an elevation of 2,797 meters (9,177 feet), it stands as an impressive challenge for mountaineers and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape. The mountain gets its name from its distinctive shape, resembling the curved horns of a cow.

During the winter season, Cowhorn Mountain is typically covered in a deep snowpack, making it a popular destination for backcountry skiing and snowboarding. The snowpack range varies from year to year, but on average, it can reach depths of several meters, providing excellent opportunities for winter adventurers.

The mountain's runoff feeds into several creeks and rivers in the region, including the Elk River and the Comox Glacier Creek. These waterways benefit from the melting snow during the warmer months, contributing to the overall water supply of the area.

Although information on the history and legends surrounding Cowhorn Mountain is limited, the mountain's name suggests that it may have held significance for indigenous communities or early settlers in the area. Exploring local archives and consulting with local historians could provide further insights into the mountain's intriguing past.
