Mount Robson is the most
prominent mountain in
North America's
Rocky Mountain range; it is also the highest point in the
Canadian Rockies. The mountain is located entirely within
Mount Robson Provincial Park of
British Columbia, and is part of the
Rainbow Range. Mount Robson is the second highest peak entirely in British Columbia, behind
Mount Waddington in the
Coast Range. The south face of Mount Robson is clearly visible from the
Yellowhead Highway (Highway 16), and is commonly photographed along this route.
Mount Robson was likely named after
Colin Robertson, who worked for both the
North West Company and the
Hudson’s Bay Company at various times in the early 19th century, though there was confusion over the name as many assumed it to have been named for
John Robson, an early premier of British Columbia. The
Texqakallt, a
Secwepemc people and the earliest inhabitants of the area, call it
Yuh-hai-has-kun,
The Mountain of the Spiral Road.
