Mount Alfred

Mount Alfred, mountain summit in British Columbia, Canada

Mount Alfred is a mountain at the head of Jervis Inlet and Queen Reach, in the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains of British Columbia. It is the highest summit on the mainland between Jervis and Toba Inlets, with 1,318 metres of prominence defined by the pass at the head of the Skwawka River. Alfred Creek drains its glaciers southeast into the Skwawka.

The peak received its name in 1860 during a British survey expedition, honoring a member of the royal family. Its first recorded ascent took place in 1929.

The name comes from the 1860 survey by HMS Plumper, which charted Jervis Inlet and honoured Alfred Edward, Queen Victoria's second son and Duke of Edinburgh from 1844 to 1900. The British Columbia government formally adopted the name on 6 May 1924. Climbers today follow the route of Arthur Tinniswood Dalton and Percy Williams Easthope, who made the first ascent in 1929.

The peak is accessible from Powell River and climbing is best during summer months when weather is more stable. Visitors should plan for full daylight hours and watch for changing conditions on the slopes.

Alfred Creek Falls, on the creek draining the mountain's glaciers southeast into the Skwawka, drops about 700 metres and is among Canada's highest waterfalls. The falls are unofficially named, and the creek carries meltwater from the ice on Mount Alfred's flanks.
