Jackass Mountain


Jackass Mountain is a mountain in the Canadian Cascades of the Cascade Range in southwestern British Columbia, Canada, located southeast of Lytton and 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.
