'''Mount Hartzell''' is a {{Convert|2615|m|ft|abbr=off|adj=on}} mountain summit located in the Coast Mountains, in Joffre Lakes Provincial Park, in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is part of the Joffre Group, which is a subset of the Lillooet Ranges. It is situated {{convert|25|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} east of Pemberton, midway between Mount Matier and Mount Spetch, each a half kilometre either side of Hartzell. The mountain's name was submitted by Karl Ricker of the Alpine Club of Canada to honor '''Carl A. Hartzell''', an early settler and postmaster at Pemberton.<ref>{{cite bcgnis|7732|Mount Hartzell}}</ref> The name was officially adopted on January 23, 1979, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.<ref name=cgndb>{{cite cgndb|id=JANRO|name=Mount Hartzell|accessdate=2019-11-18}}</ref> Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into Joffre Creek and Twin One Creek, both tributaries of the Lillooet River. The mountain and its climate supports the Hartzell Glacier on the southeast slope, and the Matier Glacier on the northern slope.
==Climate== Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Hartzell is located in a subarctic climate zone of western North America.<ref name=Peel>{{cite journal | author = Peel, M. C. |author2=Finlayson, B. L. |author3=McMahon, T. A. | year = 2007 | title = Updated world map of the Köppen−Geiger climate classification | journal = Hydrol. Earth Syst. Sci. | volume = 11 | issn = 1027-5606}}</ref> Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Coast Mountains where they are forced upward by the range (Orographic lift), causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall. As a result, the Coast Mountains experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall. Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. The months July through September offer the most favorable weather for climbing Mount Hartzell.
