Mount Sifton

Mount Sifton, a 2,922-metre peak in Glacier National Park, rises in the Hermit Range of the Selkirk Mountains near Rogers Pass and is visible from the Trans-Canada Highway. First climbed on September 3, 1900, by Arthur Michael, Edward Feuz, and Friedrich Michel via the southeast ridge, it later took the name of Sir Clifford Sifton, Canada’s Minister of the Interior from 1896 to 1905. Adopted in 1906 and re-approved in 1932, the mountain is known for its subarctic climate, drainage into the Beaver and Illecillewaet river systems, and several established climbing routes that underscore its importance in Rogers Pass mountaineering history.
