From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the mountain in British Columbia. For the mountain in Colorado, see Lone Cone (Colorado).
Lone Cone is a mountain located 6 km (4 mi) north of Tofino and 7 km (4 mi) northwest of Mount Colnett on the western peninsula of Meares Island in Clayoquot Land District, British Columbia, Canada.[1] The mountain has always been a noticeable landmark to all inhabitants with its looming presence on the north end of Meares Island. The early pioneers believed that if there were clouds blocking the summit then there would be approaching good weather.[2]
