Mount Bishop is a rocky summit with lots of bluffs and glorious old growth on the lower slopes. Although Mount Bishop is very close to Vancouver, it is seldom climbed. The original ascent was apparently via a boat and then up Bishop Creek. Mount Bishop was named after Joseph Charles Bishop, the first president of the British Columbia Mountaineering Club (BCMC), who was killed in the early 1900's on Mount Baker.
Mount Bishop is located on the Northern border of Mount Seymour Provincial Park.
