Volcanic features on Soo-Squamish divide

edit

I mentioned these elsewhere but adding a note here in case any readers of this page may know something; just north of Callaghan there are some volcanic-type features - a table-mountain/mesa, I think, and some lesser cones, and I think a hot spring on the Squamish River side; just remember from living in Whistler and having friends who used to backcountry in the area that they were mentioned; and I'm sure I've seen aerial pics somewhere, too, though not on Randall & Kat's as I maybe thought at first (I checked).Skookum1 (talk) 02:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

The table mountain is likely the Little Ring Mountain tuya..... BT (talk) 21:15, 13 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi Ron, I'm just wondering if there are any sources for the content in this section after the first sentence. Thanks. Volcanoguy 03:09, 4 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Mount Callaghan is part of the Coast Mountains per Peakbagger.com. See Wikipedia page Coast Mountains. This Climate section is a condensed version of the climate found there in the Geography section, where it states: "Because the Coast Mountains are just east of the Pacific Ocean, they have a profound effect on British Columbia's climate by forcing moisture-laden air off the Pacific Ocean to rise, dropping heavy rainfalls on the western slopes where lush forests exist. This precipitation is among the heaviest in North America. The eastern slopes are relatively dry and less steep and protect the British Columbia Interior from the Pacific weather systems, resulting in dry warm summers and dry cold winters."
