Mount Fromme

Mount Fromme is a summit in North Vancouver that rises to an elevation of 1,185 meters above sea level. Several hiking trails wind through thick forest and lead to viewpoints where you can look out over Vancouver Harbor.

The mountain was named after George Fromme, an early North Vancouver settler from the 1800s who helped develop local infrastructure. His name marks the period when European settlement expanded in this region.

The mountain sits within the ancestral lands of the Coast Salish First Nations, people who have traveled these slopes and valleys for countless generations. Today, visitors walk through forests that hold deep cultural meaning for Indigenous communities connected to this region.

The best hiking season runs from July through October when the trails are dry and safe to walk. Plan for a full day trip since the route is demanding and breaks at the viewpoints are worthwhile.

The summit area holds radio antennas and intersects with the old Grouse Mountain Highway, which serve as important landmarks for hikers. This infrastructure creates a surprising contrast to the otherwise natural surroundings.
