Description
WikipediaCaniche Peak is located on the border of Alberta and British Columbia. It was named in 1922 by Arthur O. Wheeler. He suggested it be called Poodle Park as he thought it resembled the head of a poodle. The French word for poodle, "Caniche", was adopted to give the name more class.
