Manx Peak

Manx Peak is a mountain summit in the Trident Range within Jasper National Park, reaching 3,044 meters in elevation. Circus Valley sits to the south while Whistlers Creek Valley lies to the northeast.

The peak was named in 1916 by Morrison P. Bridgland, a Dominion Land Surveyor, who saw resemblance between its contours and the triskelion symbol of the Isle of Man. This naming choice reflected the surveyor's observation of the mountain's distinctive three-part outline.

The mountain's name reflects the connection to Manx heritage through its resemblance to the three-legged symbol found on the Isle of Man flag.

Access to the summit requires mountaineering experience and equipment suitable for alpine conditions. Visitors should plan their route in advance and become familiar with local weather patterns and terrain.

The mountain was named after the three-pronged symbol on the Isle of Man flag because its overall outline resembles this historic emblem. The visual connection between the mountain's shape and this heraldic symbol can be observed from various vantage points.
