Pioneer Peak (British Columbia)
Pioneer Peak is a mountain in British Columbia, Canada. Description Pioneer Peak is part of the Adamant Range which is a subrange of the Selkirk Mountains. It is located northwest of Golden and north of Glacier National Park. Pioneer Peak is highly glaciated with the Granite Glacier to the north, Gothics Glacier to the east, and the Adamant Glacier to the south. Precipitation runoff and glacial meltwater from the mountain's slopes drains north to Swan Creek, east to Smith Creek, south to Palmer Creek, and each are tributaries of the Columbia River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises approximately 2,500 metres (8,200 ft) above Kinbasket Lake in . Pioneer is located south of the Bill Putnam hut which makes the peak an excellent ski mountaineering destination.Chic Scott, ''Summits and Icefields: Columbia Mountains'', Rocky Mountain Books Ltd, 2003, , p. 54.
