Nature
Mount Scott rises on the Alberta-British Columbia border north of the Hooker Icefield in Hamber Provincial Park. In the Canadian Rockies it ranks as Alberta's 44th highest peak and the province's 46th most prominent mountain, and it is also British Columbia's 57th highest peak. The mountain was named in 1913 for Captain Robert Falcon Scott, the British Antarctic explorer. Its name reflects an early 20th-century practice of honoring explorers in Rocky Mountain place names, and it remains a notable border peak in this part of the range.
