Clinker Ridge is a mountain ridge in southwestern British Columbia, Canada, located between Garibaldi Lake and the Cheakamus River. Named for Clinker Peak on the western flank of Mount Price, this ridge is one of the two large lava flows from Clinker Peak that ponded against an ice sheet about 9,000 years ago.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Mount Price (British Columbia)</span> Stratovolcano in British Columbia, Canada

Mount Price is a small stratovolcano in the Garibaldi Ranges of the Pacific Ranges in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It has an elevation of 2,049 metres and rises above the surrounding landscape on the western side of Garibaldi Lake in New Westminster Land District. The mountain contains a number of subfeatures, including Clinker Peak on its western flank, which was the source of two thick lava flows between 15,000 and 8,000 years ago that ponded against glacial ice. These lava flows are structurally unstable, having produced large landslides as recently as the 1850s. A large provincial park surrounds Mount Price and other volcanoes in its vicinity. It lies within an ecological region that surrounds much of the Pacific Ranges.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Clinker Peak</span> Mountain in British Columbia, Canada

Clinker Peak is a peak on the shoulder of Mount Price in the Garibaldi Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada. It is a stratovolcano in the Garibaldi Volcanic Belt, part of the Clinker Ridge on the west side of Garibaldi Lake. Clinker Peak is considered a volcanic vent of Mount Price, and produced two large lava flows approximately 9,000 years ago, that ponded against the retreating continental ice sheet and formed The Barrier, containing Garibaldi Lake. Clinker Peak is about 9.5 km (5.9 mi) from the abandoned settlement of Garibaldi. The nearest populated areas are Squamish, 25 km (16 mi) to the south, and Whistler 23 km (14 mi) north.

Ember Ridge is a volcanic mountain ridge associated with the Mount Cayley volcanic field in British Columbia, Canada. Ember Ridge is made of a series of steep-sided domes of glassy, complexly jointed, hornblende-phyric basalt with the most recent eruptions during the Holocene. The domes have structural similarities which indicate that the domes are similar in age and could have formed by the same foundation.
