Mount Lawrence Grassi

Mount Lawrence Grassi is the highest summit of the Ehagay Nakoda massif in the Canadian Rockies near Canmore, part of a multi-peaked mountain that includes Ha Ling Peak, Miners Peak, and Ship’s Prow. It honors Lawrence Grassi, an Italian-born miner who came to Canada in 1912 and became well known in Canmore as a climbing guide and trail builder, including the route to Grassi Lakes. In 1998, the larger massif was renamed Ehagay Nakoda, a Stoney Nakoda name tied to an origin story shared by Elder Peter Lazarus Wesley, while the tallest peak kept Grassi’s name. The mountain brings together local mining, mountaineering, and Stoney Nakoda heritage.
