Mount Bell

Mount Bell is a steep 2,910-metre peak in Banff National Park’s Bow Range, south of Lake Louise and east of the Continental Divide. Its dramatic relief rises sharply above Taylor Lake and Boom Lake, and with nearby Bident Mountain it forms the buttresses framing Consolation Pass above Consolation Valley. Water from the mountain drains to tributaries of the Bow River. First known as Mount Bellevue, it was renamed for Dr. Frederick Bell of the Alpine Club of Canada, whose sister Nora Bell joined the 1910 party that made the first recorded ascent. The name was officially adopted in 1952.
