Mount Taylor is a 2,318-metre (7,605-foot) 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.[3] It is situated 21 km (13 mi) east of Pemberton, and 7 km (4 mi) northeast of Lillooet Lake. Its nearest higher peak is Slalok Mountain, 1.9 km (1 mi) to the east.[3] 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.[4] The toponym was officially adopted January 23, 1979, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[2]
