Boom Mountain

About

Boom Mountain is located north of Vermilion Pass and straddles the Continental Divide marking the Alberta-British Columbia border. It was named in 1908 after Boom Lake which is located right under the mountain. When viewed by an Alpine Club of Canada expedition, a buildup of logs on the lake resembled a log boom.
