Mount Gardiner is a 2,406-metre (7,894-foot) mountain summit located in the Cayoosh Range of the Lillooet Ranges, in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is situated 17 km (11 mi) northeast of Pemberton, immediately west of the Place Glacier, and 1.8 km (1 mi) north of Mount Oleg, its nearest higher peak.[4] The mountain was named for William and Henry Gardiner, early settlers who farmed in Pemberton Meadows.[5] The name was officially adopted on June 11, 1979, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[2] Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into tributaries of the Fraser River.
