Origin Notes and History:

Adopted 9 June 1960 on 82K, as submitted in 1955 by mountaineer Peter Robinson (file P.3.37). Source: BC place name cards, or correspondence to/from BC's Chief Geographer or BC Geographical Names Office |

Presumably named in 1954 by Robinson, who climbed in the area that year; so-named because sometimes it can be seen from Crystalline valley during a rain storm - its summit shrouded in clouds and a waterfall pouring from its northern face.
