Скачать или смотреть Scaling the start of the Colin Range | Morro Peak - Jasper National Park, Alberta

On this shoulder season adventure, we return to a mountain that I failed to summit twice before (for various safety reasons) but isn't a very difficult expedition by any stretch. This peak sticks out as a rounded nub in the heart of Jasper National Park & would be a perfect lighthouse location for the Athabasca River as it changes direction at this location.

Morro Peak is a small 1,679-metre mountain summit located at the northwest end of the Colin Range, which is a sub-range of the Canadian Rockies. The peak is situated 17 km north of the municipality of Jasper, and is a prominent landmark in the Athabasca Valley visible from Highway 16 and the Canadian. Its nearest higher peak is Hawk Mountain, 4.0 km to the southeast. Morro Peak was named in 1916 by Morrison P. Bridgland for the Spanish word morro, meaning rounded hill, which is an apt description of it. Bridgland (1878-1948) was a Dominion Land Surveyor who named many peaks in Jasper Park and the Canadian Rockies. The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1956 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
