Mount McGuire is a mountain located in the Sunwapta River Valley of Jasper National Park, in Alberta, Canada.
The mountain was named in 1971 after Fenton John Alexander "Mickey" McGuire, who served as a warden in the park for 34 years and ended his career as chief park warden.[1]
Mount McGuire is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Cambrian period and pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.[5]
