Mount Assiniboine, at 11,870ft (3618m), is the tallest mountain in the
southern region of the Canadian Rockies. The distinctive pyramidal
shape has led to it being referred to as the ‘Matterhorn of North
America’. Visible for many miles in every direction, the mountain soars
well above other nearby peaks. The mountain serves as the focal point
of Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park, a 386 sq km reserve that was
created in 1922.
