Rainbow Range (Coast Mountains)
Encyclopedia : R : RA : RAI : Rainbow Range (Coast Mountains)
The Rainbow Range is on the western edge of the Chilcotin Plateau, adjoining the Pacific Ranges of the Coast Mountains to the south, and the Kitimat Ranges of the Coast Mountains to the north. In some classification systems it is considered part of the Coast Mountains and has been assigned here in Wikipedia to the Pacific Ranges although it is not formally part of that range-complex. Adjoining it on the east is the smaller but similar Itcha Range.
It lies north of the Bella Coola River and south and west of the Dean River and is relatively drier in climate and easier of terrain than more mountainous areas immediately west. Its main summit is the volcanic cone of Tsitsutl Peak 2495 m (8186 ft).
