Mount Greenock is a 2,073-metre (6,801 ft) mountain summit located in the Athabasca River valley of Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada.[2] It is situated in the De Smet Range of the Canadian Rockies. It was named in 1916 by Morrison P. Bridgland after Greenock, in Scotland.[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 1956 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[2]
