Mount Capricorn, Meager Mountain, and Plinth Mountain (left to right) are seen above the Lillooet River valley to the SE. They are three of the eight volcanic centers forming the Tertiary to Holocene Meager volcanic complex. Deep glacial erosion has exposed the interior of a group of dissected rhyodacite volcanic remnants that form the highest peaks. Photo by Lee Siebert, 1987 (Smithsonian Institution).
