Vicuna Peak

Vicuna Peak, or Vicuña Peak, is a 2,126-metre (6,975-foot) granitic horn located in the North Cascades of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is situated 8 km (5 mi) northwest of Coquihalla Summit, 1.47 km (1 mi) northeast of Alpaca Peak, and 1 km (1 mi) southwest of Guanaco Peak, its nearest higher peak, by a mere one metre. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains west into headwaters of the East Anderson River, or east into headwaters of the Coldwater River. The mountain was named for the vicuña, as part of the animal names theme for several other nearby peaks that were submitted by Philip Kubik of the 1974 first ascent party. The mountain's name was officially adopted on February 5, 1976, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
