Jackass Mountain

Jackass Mountain is a mountain in the North Cascades of the Cascade Range in southwestern British Columbia, Canada, located 18 km southeast of Lytton and 9 km south of Mount Lytton. It is named for the muletrains that ventured north to the Cariboo gold fields; apparently some did not make it over the bluff and perished in a fall, hence the name. The Cariboo Road was built over this route in 1862; the hill at 1200 feet sits high above the river, and like Nicaragua Bluff in the Canyon, makes a rugged rock of granite. ()
