Description
WikipediaEagle Mountain is a 2,836-metre (9,304-foot) mountain summit located immediately northeast of the Banff Sunshine ski resort in Banff National Park of Alberta, Canada. The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1958 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. The nearest higher neighbor is Mount Howard Douglas, 1.51 km (0.94 mi) to the south-southeast. Eagle Mountain contains a natural window officially named Goat's Eye located on the northeast ridge which leads many to call it Goat's Eye Mountain. It was first noted by George Simpson who wrote of it: "a very peculiar feature in an opening of about eighty feet by fifty, which, as we advanced nearer, assumed the appearance of the gateway of a giant's fortress."
