Cinquefoil Mountain is a 2,256-metre (7,402 ft) mountain summit located in the Athabasca River valley of Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada.[2] It is situated in the Jacques Range of the Canadian Rockies. Cinquefoil Mountain was named in 1916 by Morrison P. Bridgland on account of cinquefoil in the area.[3] Bridgland (1878–1948) was a Dominion Land Surveyor who named many peaks in Jasper Park and the Canadian Rockies.[4] The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1928 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[2]
