Mount Terry Fox Provincial Park

Mount Terry Fox Provincial Park, Provincial park in Regional District of Fraser-Fort George, Canada

Mount Terry Fox Provincial Park is a provincial park in the Rocky Mountains near Mount Robson and Valemount, British Columbia. It contains Mount Terry Fox, the mountain named after the amputee long-distance runner and cancer research activist Terry Fox, who was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and grew up in British Columbia.

The park received its official name in 1981 to honor the Marathon of Hope, a cross-country fundraising run for cancer research led by Terry Fox. This dedication made the mountain a permanent symbol of his journey.

This protected area stands as a memorial to Terry Fox, a Canadian runner who crossed his country on one prosthetic leg while raising funds for cancer research. Visitors come here to remember his determination and understand his lasting impact on the nation's sense of purpose.

Mount Terry Fox Provincial Park lies in the Rocky Mountains near Mount Robson and about 15 km west of Valemount on Highway 16. The park has no road access, so the mountain is usually viewed from the roadside rather than climbed. Plan for daylight hours only and carry bear spray, as black and grizzly bears live in the area.

The park and its mountain honour Terry Fox, the amputee long-distance runner and cancer research activist from Winnipeg, Manitoba, who grew up in British Columbia. The naming links a Rocky Mountains peak near Mount Robson to his Marathon of Hope.
