Sunwapta Peak is a peak located in the Sunwapta River valley of Jasper National Park, just north of the Columbia Icefield. The peak was named in 1892 after the Stoney Indian word "Sunwapta" meaning "turbulent river". The mountain can be seen from the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93).
Routes
The normal climbing route is via the southwest slopes, requiring an elevation gain of 1,735 m (5,692 ft) to the summit from the trail head located beside the Icefields Parkway.
