caption_attribution_description: English: Joffre Peak, Lillooet Ranges
context_page_description: Joffre Peak is a 2,721-metre mountain summit located in the Coast Mountains, in Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is the second-highest point of the Joffre Group, which is a subset of the Lillooet Ranges. It is situated 26 km east of Pemberton, and 11 km northeast of Lillooet Lake. Its nearest higher peak is Mount Matier, 1.6 km to the south. The mountain supports the Matier Glacier on the southwest slope, and the Anniversary Glacier on the southeast slope. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into Joffre Creek and Cayoosh Creek. The first ascent of the mountain was made on July 19, 1957 by Dick Chambers and Paddy Sherman, who were members of the British Columbia Mountaineering Club. The first ascent party named this peak for its position at the head of Joffre Creek. The mountain's name honors Marshal Joseph Jacques Césaire Joffre, a French general who served as Commander-in-Chief of French Armies in World War I. The name was officially adopted on June 22, 1967, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. Joffre Peak should not be confused with Mount Joffre in the Canadian Rockies which is also named for the same person.
