Mount Boucherie, Ancient volcano in West Kelowna, Canada

Mount Boucherie is an eroded stratovolcano on the west shore of Okanagan Lake in West Kelowna, British Columbia. It rises 417 metres above the lake and its summit reaches 758 metres. The north and south flanks show yellow, tan and pinkish rhyolite and andesite, while the east and north-east face is dark dacite with columnar joints.

This stratovolcano formed roughly 60 million years ago and originally reached an estimated height of 2000 meters (6560 feet) before glacial periods worn it down to its present size. Glacial erosion dramatically reshaped the landscape and the mountain itself.

The mountain is named after Isadore Boucherie, a farmer and stock-raiser who settled in Rutland and on the west side of Okanagan Lake in 1888 and bought the land known as Boucherie Ranch. Earlier it had been called Mount Edgar, after Lieutenant-Governor Edgar Dewdney, a name given by a Miss Allison.

Multiple trails lead to and around the summit, accessed through Mount Boucherie Regional Park and Eain Lamont Community Park with various entry points. Trail conditions vary depending on season and recent weather, so it's worth checking conditions before heading up.

The 1992 forest fire began behind Mount Boucherie Secondary School, started by two 11-year-old boys playing with matches. It burned 60 hectares on the steep north and east slopes, forced about 100 people to evacuate, destroyed no houses, and cost $170,000 to extinguish.
