Morro Peak

Morro Peak is a 1,679-metre summit in Jasper National Park, Alberta, at the northwest end of the Colin Range in the Canadian Rockies. About 17 kilometres north of Jasper, it is a prominent Athabasca Valley landmark visible from Highway 16 and the Canadian railway line. Morrison P. Bridgland, a Dominion Land Surveyor, named it in 1916 using the Spanish word morro, meaning a rounded hill, to match its shape, and the Geographical Names Board of Canada formally adopted the name in 1956. Its nearest higher neighbour is Hawk Mountain, and its runoff flows into the Athabasca River.
