Golden Hinde, Mountain summit in Strathcona Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada
Golden Hinde rises 2,198 meters above sea level, making it the highest elevation point on Vancouver Island within Strathcona Provincial Park boundaries.
The first documented ascent of the mountain occurred in 1913 when climbers Einar Anderson and W.R. Kent reached its summit through challenging terrain.
The mountain received its name from a fur trading captain who saw a connection between its appearance at sunset and Sir Francis Drake's ship.
Reaching the summit requires a minimum of two days, with designated camping spots available along the trail for overnight stays.
The mountain consists primarily of basalt from the Karmutsen Formation and stands at the head of the Wolf River near Buttle Lake.
