Golden Horn is a prominent peak located in the Pacific Ranges mountain range in British Columbia, Canada. With an elevation of approximately 2,958 meters (9,705 feet), it offers a challenging climb for experienced mountaineers. Its sizeable prominence and distinctive shape make it a notable landmark in the region.

The snowpack range in this area can vary, but typically reaches depths of several meters, providing excellent opportunities for winter sports enthusiasts. The mountain's snow-covered slopes and rugged terrain attract backcountry skiers, snowboarders, and snowshoers seeking thrilling adventures in an awe-inspiring alpine environment.

Golden Horn is surrounded by a network of creeks and rivers that receive runoff from the mountain's melting snow during the warmer months. These include notable waterways like the Silverhope Creek and Skagit River. The pristine waters that flow from Golden Horn contribute to the overall beauty and ecological significance of the surrounding landscape.

As for the name's history, Golden Horn's origins remain somewhat unclear. It is believed that the mountain was named by early explorers or Indigenous peoples who were captivated by the peak's majestic appearance. While there are no specific legends or lore associated with Golden Horn, its name alone evokes a sense of mystery and adventure, inspiring mountaineers and outdoor enthusiasts to explore its grandeur.
