Throne Mountain

Throne Mountain, Mountain summit in Jasper National Park, Canada

Throne Mountain is a 3,120-metre (10,236 ft) summit in the South Jasper Ranges of the Canadian Rockies, 24 km south of the town of Jasper and 8 km east of Tonquin Valley. Its peak is made of sedimentary rock laid down between the Precambrian and Jurassic periods and pushed east over younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.

Morrison P. Bridgland, a Dominion Land Surveyor who named many Jasper peaks, chose the name in 1916 for the mountain's chair-like profile. The first ascent was made in 1926 by J. W. A. Hickson and Howard Palmer with guide J. Weber. The Geographical Names Board of Canada officially adopted the name in 1935.

The name comes from Morrison P. Bridgland, the Dominion Land Surveyor who in 1916 thought the peak looked like a chair; the Geographical Names Board of Canada adopted it officially in 1935. Climbers still use the mountain as a landmark when crossing toward Tonquin Valley, 8 km west.

Reaching this summit requires advanced climbing experience and proper equipment suited to mountain conditions. Plan for an early start and account for rapid weather changes at higher elevations.

This peak sits near Mount Edith Cavell and is one of more than 380 named summits throughout the park. Its proximity to better-known peaks makes it a useful reference point for experienced mountaineers navigating the region.
