Mount Fromme is one of the North Shore Mountains that overlook Burrard Inlet north of Vancouver, British Columbia. It stands just east of Grouse Mountain, and the District of North Vancouver and the City of North Vancouver lie on its lower slopes, where it descends to the inlet. Mount Fromme, like the other mountains of the Pacific Ranges, is covered with temperate rainforest of the Coastal Western Hemlock Zone. In the case of Mount Fromme, this is largely secondary growth forest, since the mountain was extensively logged in the early 20th century.[3][4] Outside of the Vancouver area Mount Fromme is known as a mountain biking destination.[5]
