Butze Mountains to Denise Arm

Un-named Mountains on mainland as seen from Highway 16

These mountains can be seen from Prince Rupert "behind" Mount Oldfield. But going out highway is better. Perhaps they have names, but I don't see any on maps. Suggestion? -- Name these Mountains ______.


The DFO map gives more detail:

the larger mountain is about 2500 feet and has cirques cut during the last glaciation
(note the 'c' contours on mountain top and see aerial photo below)
which are difficult to see from the road
Apparently there are no fish in the unnamed stream between the mountains.


Cirques and Denise Arm ridge

 

Not only does this photo show the cirque(s) well--center left of aerial foto-- but it gives a sense of the steepness of ridge on Denise Inlet -- upper right.

Butze Rapids and the Industrial Park are on the lower left.

See Below for a better view of mountain which begins to reveal forest ecosystems (stands) where the reddish tinged trees in steep area are Sitka Spruce with cones this spring.
