Solitary
Mountain is a mountain in the Big Salmon Range of the Pelly Mountains in
south-central Yukon, Canada, situated 49 km (30 mi) southwest of Faro. It is titled
for its seclusion and is south of the Robert Campbell Highway.
Solitary
Mountain comprises Late Cretaceous volcanics of the Carmacks Group, a 63,000
km2 (24,000 sq mi) volcanic group that may have its source from volcanism of
the Yellowstone hotspot some 70 million years ago. Unlike much of the Carmacks
Group, the volcanics encompassing Solitary Mountain are separated by the large
strike-slip Teslin Fault.
