Taseko Mountain, also known as
Mount Taseko (pronounced
Ta-SEE-ko) 3063 m (10049 ft), prominence: 1277 m, is one of the principal summits of the
Chilcotin Ranges, part of the
Pacific Ranges subdivision of the
Coast Mountains of southern
British Columbia.
[2][1] Standing just east of the
Taseko Lakes, it is the highest summit between the Taseko Lakes and the
Fraser River, and the highest east of the pass between the basins of the
Lord and
Bridge Rivers. North and east of Taseko Mountain the landscape drops off dramatically to the flat
Chilcotin Plateau. Immediately west across Taseko Lake is
Mount Tatlow, which has the same elevation as Taseko Mountain.
