Mount Taylor is a 2318abbr=offNaNabbr=off mountain summit located in the Coast Mountains, in Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is part of the Joffre Group, which is a subset of the Lillooet Ranges. It is situated 210NaN0 east of Pemberton, and 70NaN0 northeast of Lillooet Lake. Its nearest higher peak is Slalok Mountain, 1.90NaN0 to the east.[2] Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into Joffre Creek, a tributary of the Lillooet River. The mountain's name was submitted by Karl Ricker of the Alpine Club of Canada to honor Ada C. Taylor, a Pemberton pioneer and the first nurse in that community. The toponym was officially adopted January 23, 1979, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[3]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Taylor is located in a subarctic climate zone of western North America.[4] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall. As a result, the Coast Mountains experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. Temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. The months July through September offer the most favorable weather for climbing Mount Taylor.
