Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, Provincial nature reserve in British Columbia, Canada
The park encompasses 39,050 hectares of alpine lakes, glaciated peaks, and meadows filled with wildflowers at elevations reaching 3,618 meters.
The Provincial Park was established in 1922 following advocacy from the Alpine Club of Canada and expanded to its current size in 1973.
The territory holds significance for several Indigenous groups, including the Ktunaxa, Peigans, Assiniboines, Blackfoot, and Kootenai who traveled mountain passes for trading.
Access to the park requires either hiking through designated trails or taking scheduled helicopter flights from Canmore, as no roads reach the protected area.
Mount Assiniboine rises as a pyramidal peak that mirrors the form of the Swiss Matterhorn, standing prominently along the Continental Divide.
