Ehagay Nakoda

This northernmost peak is named in honour of Ha Ling, a Chinese cook working for a mining camp. He bet coworkers fifty dollars that he could climb the mountain and return in less than ten hours. When he returned in five and a half hours, people doubted him so he led them up the mountain to where he had planted a small flag. He then left an even larger flag that could be seen from the nearby town of town of Canmore, Alberta. He is the first person known to have climbed to the summit of the peak.^[8]

Miners Peak is the first peak south of Ha Ling Peak. It was named in honour of the mining community that once mine coal from the mountain.^[9] Though the name of the peak is often spelled as a possessive noun (Miner's Peak), this is incorrect.^[10]

The peak is next south from Miners Peak. It is named for Lawrence Grassi (1890–1980), an Italian miner who emigrated to Canada in 1912. After working with the Canadian Pacific Railway for several years he worked in the Canmore coal mines, Grassi also became a well-respected climbing guide as well as building many trails in the area, including one to the Grassi Lakes which also bear his name.^[1][11]

Ship's Prow is the southern-most peak of Ehagay Nakoda and is southeast of Mount Lawrence Grassi. It is named for its prominent, ship's prow-like appearance on the end of Ehagay Nakoda as seen from the nearby town of Canmore, Alberta.^[12]
