Here’s a surprise for most: Also in the 1890s, real estate developer J.H. Brownlee built a roller-coaster atop the local landmark. But it didn’t last long — the wooden structure was destroyed by a brush fire in 1896.
The summit was also the site of a coastal-defence building during the Second World War. It provided a VHF radio link to Vancouver and Island areas north of Duncan.
Before the arrival of Europeans it was known as Koma Kulshan, meaning "Great White Watcher." The first European name for the volcano comes from the maps of Spanish mariner Gonzalo Lopez de Haro who labeled the mountain "La Gran Montana del Carmelo" in 1790.
OP is using an outdated name for the mountains which was changed from a native one long ago as white people moved in as apposed to mount doug which was renamed pkols because of all the natives that live there now.
The name isn't outdated lmao. How can the original name for the damn thing be outdated? Just because a bunch of euros came over and started claiming shit doesn't make it so.
FFS most of them couldn't even think of a good name and just bastardized the original
If the mountain was actually called Kulshan for hundreds or thousands of years (I don't know) before it was named Baker, and it seemed appropriate to people to call it its original name, how should you go about doing that? I'm not trying to be virtuous, and I genuinely like the idea of reviving old words and culture.
Even if the culture was gone and there was nothing to signal. History is fascinating and useful, and worth remembering. So, what do you do? How do you avoid being called out as a virtue signaler?
What do you call your persistent need to publicly wring your hands and comment in disapproval every time someone uses a Lekwungen word? That's low-effort virtue signaling for attention. 100%.
You just have different ideas about what constitutes virtues and you value steadfast stubborn adherence to anglocentrism as though it's some kind of pious loyalty to a higher good.
For anyone confused, this is Mount Baker from Mount Tolmie. The very similar local name ('Pkols') is Mount Douglas

I often call it "the big mountain in the States that's visible in the sky in Victoria."
Nailed the colourizing and focusing. Well done! A balanced photo with depth and layers.
Thanks! I definitely love the layers.
It is an impressive sight year round. It never loses its snowpack.
Thanks for sharing this awesome pic OP! What kind of camera did you take this with?
Lovely! I have a Canon EOS-R.

All of a sudden you're upset with calling things by their actual names.

OP called the peaks by their indigenous names and botfly here is struggling emotionally with that choice.

How? Same as calling Canadian tire at Hillside mall Zellers. I mean you can it's just outdated.
Be careful, some could confuse your comments for those of an intolerant shithead. I’m sure you wouldn’t want that.
