Rainbow Range

The southern part of Tweedsmuir Provincial Park, best reached along Highway 20 (for the northern part see Yellowhead Highway), is an undeveloped wilderness. In the east, in the Rainbow Nature Conservancy Area, the Rainbow Range - including Tsitsutl Peak 2478 m (8133 ft) - protrudes sharply up from the plateau which itself is some 1350 m (4430 ft) above sea-level at its center. This mountain range resembles a massive cathedral of volcanic origin and unusual coloration. In the west tower the glaciated peaks of the rugged Coastal Mountains.
