Mount Boucherie, Ancient volcano in West Kelowna, Canada

Mount Boucherie rises 417 meters above Okanagan Lake, featuring steep slopes covered with diverse geological formations of rhyolite and andesite rocks.

The stratovolcano emerged 60 million years ago, reaching an estimated height of 2000 meters before four glacial periods eroded it to its current elevation.

The mountain takes its name from Isadore Boucherie, who purchased the surrounding land known as Boucherie Ranch during the late 1880s.

Visitors access the mountain through Mount Boucherie Regional Park and Eain Lamont Community Park, which offer multiple trails to the summit.

The mountain's volcanic soil contributes to the local wine production, with numerous vineyards established around its base utilizing the mineral-rich earth.
