Mount Temple, Mountain summit in Banff National Park, Canada

Mount Temple is the highest peak in the Lake Louise area of the Canadian Rockies, located in Banff National Park between Paradise Creek and Moraine Creek. It is a large mountain of sedimentary rock whose southwest ridge rises from Sentinel Pass. The peak dominates the western skyline along the Trans-Canada Highway from Castle Junction to Lake Louise.

George Mercer Dawson named the mountain in 1884 after Sir Richard Temple, who visited the Canadian Rockies that year. On 17 August 1894, Walter D. Wilcox, Samuel E. S. Allen and Lewis Frissell made the first ascent via the southwest ridge, the first peak above 11,000 feet climbed in the Canadian Rockies. James Jones and Dave Haley completed the first winter ascent on 2 January 1969.

George Mercer Dawson named the mountain in 1884 after Sir Richard Temple, a British colonial official who visited the Canadian Rockies that same year. The name thus ties the peak to a British administrator rather than to a climber or a local feature.

The southwest ridge is normally free of snow by late July or early August and is a moderate scramble for experienced parties. Current route conditions can be obtained from a climbing warden at the park information centre in Lake Louise, where a climber's log outside the centre may hold comments from others.

The first winter ascent of Mount Temple came only on 2 January 1969, when James Jones and Dave Haley climbed the Southwest Ridge. The first ascent overall, on 17 August 1894 by Walter D. Wilcox, Samuel E. S. Allen and Lewis Frissell, was the first time any peak above 11,000 feet was climbed in the Canadian Rockies.
