The Mitre

View of The Mitre from the Plain of the Six Glaciers trail near Lake Louise, Banff National Park, Alberta ( A UNESCO World Heritage Site).

 

The Mitre is located at the head of the Lefroy Glacier between the extended ridge of Mount Aberdeen and Mount Lefroy.

 

The mountain peak was officially named The Mitre in 1893 due its resemblance to a Bishop’s mitre, a pointed headdress worn by bishops during church ceremonies.

 

The Mitre was first climbed in 1901.
