Description

Wikipedia

Wenkchemna Peak is located on the SE ridge coming off of Mount Hungabee on the border of Alberta and British Columbia. It was named in 1894 by Samuel E. S. Allen for the Stoney Indian word for ten. Wenkchemna is the 10th peak in The Valley of the Ten Peaks, as they are normally numbered (left to right as seen from Moraine Lake). It is an extension into the valley of the ridge formed by Mount Hungabee and Ringrose Peaks.
