Ursus Minor Mountain

Ursus Minor Mountain is a 2,749-metre peak in Glacier National Park’s Hermit Range of the Selkirk Mountains near Rogers Pass in British Columbia. Named in 1906 and re-approved in 1932, it takes its name from its position above Bear Creek, now Connaught Creek, and from a local bear-themed naming pattern shared with nearby peaks. The first recorded ascent came in 1907, when Rupert W. Haggen climbed it with guide Edouard Feuz Jr. In a subarctic climate with severe winter cold, the mountain also contributes runoff, including glacier melt from its north slope, to tributaries of the Illecillewaet and Beaver rivers.
