The name

Named for the range.

The Tantalus Range is the wall of glaciated peaks across the Squamish valley on the Sea to Sky Highway. The story goes that a climber who had looked at it for years from summits he could reach gave it the name: within sight, out of reach. Our Whistler day trip stops at the lookout.

Say it TAN-tuh-lus

The Tantalus Range seen from the Sea to Sky Highway, south to north: Omega, 1,918 m; Pelops · Niobe, 2,015 · 2,021 m; Alpha, 2,302 m; Serratus, 2,321 m; Dione, 2,589 m; Mount Tantalus, 2,603 m.

The range as it looks from the Tantalus Lookout on Highway 99. Alpha looks tallest because it is closest. Mount Tantalus, behind it, is the high point.
