Mount Barr is a mountain in the Skagit Range of the Cascade Mountains of southern British Columbia, Canada, located on the northeast side of Wahleach Lake and just southwest of Hope. It is a ridge highpoint with an elevation of 1907m (6,257feet).
Mount Barr is one of several magmatic features just north of the Chilliwack batholith. It is part of a large circular igneous intrusion that was placed along the Fraser Fault 16 to 21 million years ago.[2] The intrusion is part of the Pemberton Volcanic Belt, an eroded volcanic belt that formed as a result of subduction of the Farallon Plate starting 29 million years ago.[3] [4] [5]
