Mount Terry Fox

Mount Terry Fox Provincial Park encompasses 1,930 hectares in the Rocky Mountains of east-central British Columbia, protecting Mount Terry Fox which rises to 2,650 meters elevation near the border with Alberta. The park lies adjacent to the western boundary of Mount Robson Provincial Park, approximately 7 kilometers west of Mount Robson's west gate along Highway 16. Established on June 23, 1982, the park was officially dedicated on September 22, 1981, by Terry Fox's family and the people of British Columbia to honor the young Canadian who lost his leg to cancer yet ran 5,375 kilometers across Canada raising funds for cancer research. Mount Terry Fox died on June 28, 1981, and the mountain bearing his name serves as an enduring memorial to his determination, selflessness, and courage. The park's dramatic alpine terrain, glaciated peaks, and inspiring namesake make it a symbolic destination where visitors can reflect on Terry Fox's legacy while experiencing pristine mountain wilderness.
