Angle Peak

Angle Peak rises to an elevation of 2,910 meters within the Canadian Rockies, featuring the Angle Glacier along its northern slope and steep terrain.

Morrison P. Bridgland, a Dominion Land Surveyor, named the peak in 1916 due to its position where the mountain ridge forms a distinct bend.

The mountain stands within Jasper National Park, a protected area that holds significance for Indigenous communities and their connection to the natural landscape.

Mountaineers accessing Angle Peak should prepare for subarctic climate conditions, with temperatures potentially dropping below -20°C and strong winds throughout the year.

The mountain's first recorded climb occurred in 1934, marking the beginning of documented ascents in this section of the Park Ranges of Alberta.
