Capricorn Mountain is one of the six named volcanic peaks of Mount Meager in British Columbia, Canada. The slopes of Capricorn Mountain appear to be more gentle than the other volcanic peaks. The massif consists of a boomerang shaped ridge, with one summit on each end of the boomerang and the the main summit in the centre.
