Mount Terry Fox Provincial Park

Mount Terry Fox Provincial Park spans 19.3 square kilometers of natural terrain within the Rocky Mountains near the city of Valemount, British Columbia.

The provincial park received its official dedication on September 22, 1981, following Terry Fox's Marathon of Hope cancer research fundraising campaign across Canada.

This protected area stands as a permanent memorial to Terry Fox, who ran 5,375 kilometers across Canada with one prosthetic leg to raise funds for cancer research.

The park functions as a day-use area without road access, though visitors can view the mountain from a designated Highway 16 viewpoint west of Mount Robson.

The mountain trails within the park present navigation challenges and require advanced hiking skills to reach the summit named after the Canadian national hero.
