Description

Wikipedia

Lucifer Peak is a 2,726-metre (8,944-foot) mountain summit located in the Valhalla Ranges of the Selkirk Mountains in southeast British Columbia, Canada. It is situated in western Valhalla Provincial Park, 8.8 km (5.5 mi) west-northwest of Gladsheim Peak, 18 km (11 mi) west of Slocan Lake, and 20 km (12 mi) west-northwest of Slocan. This peak's name was officially adopted July 26, 1977, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. The peak is located in Devils Range, which is a subrange of the Valhallas. The names of the peaks of this small compact range have a devil-related theme: Black Prince Mountain, Mount Mephistopheles, Devils Dome, Mount Diablo, Satan Peak, Devils Spire, and Devils Couch. Based on the Köppen climate classification, Lucifer Peak has a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers. Temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into Gwillim Creek and Evans Creek, both tributaries of the Slocan River.
