Mount Assiniboine, also known as Assiniboine Mountain, is a pyramidal peak mountain 
located on the Great Divide, on the British Columbia / Alberta border . 

At 3,618 m (11,870 ft), it is the highest peak in the Southern Continental Ranges of the Canadian
Rockies. Mt. Assiniboine rises nearly 1,525 m (5,003 ft) above Lake Magog. Because of its
resemblance to the Matterorn in the Alps, it is nicknamed the "Matterhorn of the Rockies".

Mt. Assiniboine was named by George Dawson in 1885. When Dawson saw Mt. Assiniboine
from Copper Mountain, he saw a plume of clouds trailing away from the top. This reminded
him of the plumes of smoke emanating from the teepees of the Assiniboine Indians.

Mt. Assiniboine lies on the border between Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park,
in British Columbia, and Banff National Park, in Alberta. The park does not have
any roads and thus can only be reached by a six-hour hike or horse-pack 27 km
(17 mi), three-hour bike ride (now disallowed to reduce human / grizzly encounters)
or helicopter. The usual approach is via Bryant Creek. From Canmore follow the
Smith-Dorien road to the Mount Shark parking lot.
