Chetamon Mountain

Chetamon Mountain is a 2,606-metre (8,550-foot) mountain summit located in Jasper National Park, in the De Smet Range of the Canadian Rockies in Alberta, Canada. The peak is situated 18 kilometres (11 mi) north of the municipality of Jasper, in the Athabasca Valley and is visible from Highway 16 and the Canadian. Its nearest higher peak is Cliff Mountain, 3.5 km (2.2 mi) to the northwest. Chetamon Mountain is a name derived from the Stoney language meaning "squirrel". The mountain was named in 1916 by Morrison P. Bridgland because two rocks on the peak's arête had the appearance of a squirrel. Bridgland (1878-1948) was a Dominion Land Surveyor who named many peaks in Jasper Park and the Canadian Rockies. The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1956 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
