Description
WikipediaAquila Mountain is a 2,840-metre (9,320-foot) mountain summit located in the Athabasca River valley of Jasper National Park, in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada. Aquila Mountain was so named on account of eagles in the area, aquila meaning "eagle" in Latin. The mountain's name was officially adopted on March 5, 1935 when approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. Precipitation runoff from Aquila Mountain drains into Portal Creek and Astoria River which are both tributaries of the Athabasca River. Aquila Mountain can be seen from the Icefields Parkway, weather permitting. Lectern Peak is situated one kilometre to the north, and Franchère Peak two km south.
