'Mount Res'plendent, or Resplendent Mountain, is a peak in the Canadian Rockies, located within Mount Robson Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada. It is a part of the Rainbow Range, and is a sister peak to the more famous Mount Robson, its nearest neighbour, and together they form a classic panorama seen by travellers from the VIA railway and Highway 16. The East face of Resplendent towers above the sources of Resplendent Creek, feeding into the Moose River, and Its North face emerges from the Robson Glacier, feeding the Robson River, another tributary of the upper headwaters of the Fraser River. Resplendent holds an important place in the history of Canadian Rockies ski mountaineering, and from the time of Peter L. Pearson's first ski ascent (solo) in 1930, it has been a much sought-after objective for winter ascents.
