Mission Ridge , also known as Mission Mountain , is a ridge in the Bridge River - Lillooet Country of the South-Central Interior of British Columbia , Canada , extending westward from the town of Lillooet along the north side of Seton Lake to Mission Pass , which is immediately above and to the north of the lakeside community of Shalalth . The road over the pass is also known as Mission Mountain, which is short for "Mission Mountain Road". Mission Creek lies on the north side of the pass, and is a tributary of the Bridge River , the lower reaches of which lie on the north side of the ridge, and which was the only road access into the upper Bridge River Country before the construction of a road through the Bridge River Canyon in the mid-1950s opened that region up to road access from the lower Bridge River valley and the town of Lillooet via the community of Moha . Most, or virtually all, of the ridge, is Indian Reserves, notably Slosh 1 , under the administration of the Seton Lake Indian Band , and Bridge River 1 , which is under the administration of the Bridge River Indian Band . Parts of the ridge's eastern end are in reserves controlled by the Lillooet Indian Band , including its final spires above Lillooet, which were dubbed St. Mary's Mount by the Reverend Lundin Brown in the 1860s, though that name never stuck and is ungazetted.
