Mount Sir Alexander

Mount Sir Alexander is a 3,275-metre peak in British Columbia's Canadian Rockies, within Kakwa Provincial Park and Protected Area and the Sir Alexander Area of the Continental Ranges. As the northernmost Rocky Mountain summit above 3,200 metres, it stands out in this remote northern landscape. Originally called Mount Kitchi, it was renamed in 1917 for Sir Alexander Mackenzie, who in 1793 became the first European to cross North America. Mackenzie and his party passed within about 80 kilometers of the mountain on that journey, though he likely never saw it while traveling far below along the Fraser River.
