Description

Wikipedia

Mount Tuzo is a mountain located within the Valley of the Ten Peaks in the Canadian Rockies, along the Continental Divide, which forms the provincial boundary between British Columbia and Alberta in Western Canada. It also lies on the boundary shared by Banff National Park and Kootenay National Park. The mountain was named in 1907 after its first ascendant, Henrietta L. Tuzo. Tuzo was a charter member of the Alpine Club of Canada and later became the mother of the geologist John Tuzo Wilson. On his 1894 map, Samuel Allen had named the peak "Shagowa", which is the Nakoda word for seven as the mountain is seventh in order from south to north of the ten peaks.
