Blanshard Peak, Mountain summit in Golden Ears Provincial Park, British Columbia, Canada.

Blanshard Peak is a mountain in Golden Ears Provincial Park that reaches about 1550 meters and has steep rock walls on multiple sides. The southern end features a distinctive needle-like rock formation that makes the summit stand out from the surrounding terrain.

The name Blanshard Peak honours the first governor of the colony of Vancouver Island. Published maps label the whole Golden Ears Group inconsistently, and climbing guide authors later attached the name Mount Blanshard to the summit at the southern end of the group. The peak is also called The Blanshard Needle by local climbers.

The name honours Sir Richard Blanshard, first governor of the Colony of Vancouver Island. Published maps label the whole Golden Ears Group inconsistently, so climbing guides later attached "Mount Blanshard" to this southern summit, while locals call it The Blanshard Needle.

The summit sits at the southern end of the Golden Ears Group, about 15.5 km northeast of Maple Ridge, and the approach crosses conifer forest before the rock. The upper sections are technical rock; parties should judge conditions and their own experience before setting out.

Local climbers refer to this peak as The Blanshard Needle and treat it as a distinct formation separate from the larger Golden Ears massif. The needle-like shape makes it a recognizable landmark for mountaineers navigating the area.
