Labelled "Lava Peaks" on W.H. Mathews map of Garibaldi Park, 1958, but that name was rejected by the park board because there were no volcanic formations in the area. The alternative name "The Gargoyles" was suggested in 1978. Two peaks: 1816m and 1823m. Source: BC place name cards, or correspondence to/from BC's Chief Geographer or BC Geographical Names Office |
