In the autumn of last year my husband and I had an opportunity of exploring the park which was named after his father in 1937. Tweedsmuir Park is set in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, which so many people confuse with the Rockies. In fact, the Rockies, which form an almost continuous chain reaching southwards to Mexico, lie further to the east. Between their high jagged summits and the Pacific are a large number of mountain outcrops, each with its own name. There are three such in Tweedsmuir Park: the Quanchus, the Pattullo and the Rainbow ranges. Together they form the Coast Mountains of British Columbia.
