Mount Field, Mountain summit in British Columbia, Canada.
Mount Field reaches an elevation of 2,643 meters above sea level, rising prominently within the President Range of the Canadian Rockies.
The mountain received its name in 1884 to honor Cyrus West Field, the American merchant responsible for installing the first Atlantic cable in 1858.
The mountain forms part of Yoho National Park, which preserves natural landscapes and geological formations important to Canadian heritage.
The Trans-Canada Highway provides access to the mountain's southern base, with the nearest services available in the town of Field.
