Tahaetkun Mountain is an impressive 2042m summit located north of Terrace Mountain, behind Fintry canyon in the BC Okanagan. It is seldom visited but makes for a pleasant hike for the adventurer who has already done all the rest.

Access

**note that as of Jun 2023, the easiest access via Whitemans Creek FSR (access near Sugarloaf Mt off Westside rd) is CLOSED due to a major washout**

From the north, take Douglas Lake Rd near Westwold. From the south, take the same approach as Terrace Mountain and continue on until joining with Whitemans Creek FSR.

Better yet, just check this map:

It is possible to drive quite far up the road with most vehicles and park within a couple kilometres of the summit. From there it is a bit of a bushwhack until you reach the burn line. There is a bit of scrambling but overall it is relatively short and straightforward to reach the ridgeline.
