About

Aries Peak is a mountain in the Waputik Mountains, a subrange of the Canadian Rockies. It is located 5 km (3 mi) west of the Icefields Parkway, above Chephren Lake, on the continental divide between Alberta and British Columbia. Aries Peak was named in 1918 by Arthur O. Wheeler for the sheep (also known as Aries) seen on its slopes.
