Manx Peak

Manx Peak rises to an elevation of 3,044 meters in the Trident Range, with Circus Valley to the south and Whistlers Creek Valley to the northeast.

Morrison P. Bridgland, a Dominion Land Surveyor, named the peak in 1916 after observing contours resembling the Isle of Man triskelion symbol.

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.

Visitors can access detailed topographical information and climbing routes through the PeakVisor platform, which provides essential navigation tools for mountaineering expeditions.

The peak's sedimentary rock formation dates from the Precambrian to Jurassic periods, pushed eastward during the Laramide orogeny, creating distinct geological layers.
