Mount Bowlen, Mountain summit in Kootenay National Park, Canada
Mount Bowlen rises to an elevation of 3,206 meters at the border between Alberta and British Columbia within the Valley of the Ten Peaks.
The mountain received its current name in 1953, honoring John J. Bowlen, an Alberta rancher who became Lieutenant Governor and received recognition as Blackfoot honorary chief.
The original name Yamnee reflects the number three in Nakoda language, showcasing the indigenous connections to this mountain in the Canadian Rockies.
The Neil Colgan Hut, located 336 meters southeast of the summit, serves as the nearest shelter for mountaineers ascending Mount Bowlen.
The mountain contains sedimentary rock formations from the Precambrian to Jurassic periods, pushed eastward through the Laramide orogeny geological process.
