Castleguard Mountain, also known as Mount Castleguard,[1] is an isolated mountain located near the southern edge of the Columbia Icefield at the northern edge of Banff National Park in Alberta, Canada.[2] In 1918, Irish land surveyor Arthur Oliver Wheeler named the mountain because of its castle-like appearance, which seemed to stand guard over the southern portion of the Columbia Icefield.[2][3] Castleguard was first ascended in 1919 by the Interprovincial Boundary Commission, which determined the exact location of the boundary between British Columbia and Alberta along the continental divide.[2][1]

Author Lewis Freeman, in his 1925 book Roof of the Rockies, described the view from the summit: Шаблон:Quote
