Gamuza Peak, is a 1,944-metre (6,378-foot) granitic mountain summit located in the North Cascades of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is situated 12 km (7 mi) west-northwest of Coquihalla Summit, and its nearest higher peak is Steinbok Peak, 1.3 km (1 mi) to the northwest.[2] Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into tributaries of the Anderson River. The mountain was named for the gamuza, the Spanish name for the Pyrenean chamois, as part of the ungulate theme for several other nearby peaks that were submitted by Philip Kubik of the first ascent party.[3] The mountain's name was officially adopted on February 5, 1976, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[4]
