Hawk Mountain, Mountain summit in Jasper National Park, Canada
Hawk Mountain rises 2,553 meters above sea level in the Colin Range, forming a notable part of the Canadian Rockies landscape near Jasper.
Morrison P. Bridgland named the mountain in 1916 after observing a hawk flying near its peak during his work as a Dominion Land Surveyor.
The mountain serves as a reference point for visitors and locals navigating through the Athabasca Valley region of Jasper National Park.
The mountain receives substantial snowfall during winter months, with temperatures dropping below -20°C, making summer the preferred season for climbing activities.
Water flowing from Hawk Mountain contributes directly to the Athabasca River system, supporting the regional watershed network.
