Tolkien Peak is a 2,380-metre (7,810-foot) mountain summit located in the Cadwallader Range in southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is situated in Birkenhead Lake Provincial Park, 32 km (20 mi) north of Pemberton, and 2.9 km (2 mi) south of Mount Gandalf, which is its nearest higher peak. The peak is named for J. R. R. Tolkien (1892–1973), author of the novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. The names for nearby Mount Aragorn, Mount Gandalf, and Mount Shadowfax were taken from fictional characters in his books, which were read while waiting out stormy weather during the 1972 first ascents of those mountains. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into tributaries of the Fraser River.
