Dragon Peak is a two thousand eight hundred eighty-metre summit in Jasper National Park's Athabasca River valley, visible from the Icefields Parkway near Mount Christie and Brussels Peak. Arthur O. Wheeler named it in 1921 for a dragon-shaped rock formation, and the Geographical Names Board of Canada formally adopted the name in 1935. Its first recorded ascent did not occur until 1979, when D. Waterman reached the top. The mountain consists of sedimentary rock deposited from Precambrian to Jurassic times and later thrust eastward over younger layers during the Laramide orogeny. Its subarctic environment brings severe winters, brief summers, and drainage into Fryatt Creek and Luck Creek.
