Mount Logan (original) (raw)

At 5,959 meters (19,486 feet), Mount Logan is Canada's highest mountain and the second-highest peak in North America. It is located in the Saint Elias range of Yukon, and was named after Sir William Edmond Logan, a Canadian geologist. See Peakware for photos of Mt. Logan.

Mt. Logan was first climbed in 1925 by A.H. MacCarthy, H.F. Lambart, A. Carp�, W.W. Foster, N. Read and A. Taylor.

Following the death of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, the Chrétien government considered renaming the mountain Mount Trudeau; however, this faced opposition from Yukoners and mountaineers, and the plan was dropped.
