Mount Kindersley

Mount Kindersley is a 2,697-metre peak in British Columbia's Kootenay National Park, near Radium Hot Springs, and the second-highest summit in the Brisco Range. It is notable for its dramatic rise, climbing 1,100 metres above Kindersley Creek in just 1.5 kilometres. Water from its eastern slopes flows toward the Kootenay River through Nixon and Meadow creeks, while its western slopes drain to the Columbia River by way of Kindersley Creek. Named for Sir Robert Kindersley, a Hudson's Bay Company chairman who toured Canada in 1920, the mountain's name was officially adopted on September 9, 1924.
