Albert Peak

Albert Peak is a prominent 3,045-metre summit in British Columbia’s Selkirk Mountains, east of Revelstoke, and the highest point of the North Duncan Ranges. Though not unusually high for the region, it is notable for rising steeply above the Illecillewaet Valley and for its dramatic visibility between Mount Revelstoke and Glacier national parks from the Trans-Canada Highway. Most of its runoff drains to tributaries of the Illecillewaet River, while its south slope drains to the Akolkolex River, and its northeast slope supports the Albert Glacier. Named in 1883 for Albert Luther Rogers, it was officially adopted in 1932 and remains better known as a landmark than a climbing objective.
