Keele Peak is the highest summit in Yukon’s Mackenzie Mountains, rising to 2,952 metres near the Northwest Territories border and about 25 kilometres from the Canol Road. Its prominence of 2,157 metres places it among Canada’s most prominent peaks, underscoring both its height and its dominance over the surrounding landscape. Named for explorer and geologist Joseph Keele, who emigrated from Ireland to Canada, it is known today as a remote northern summit and a leading high point of the Mackenzie range.
