Epaulette Mountain
The Waputik Mountains are a
mountain range of the
Canadian Rockies, located on the
Continental Divide between
Banff and
Yoho National Park. Covering an area of 1,069 square kilometres (413 sq mi),
[3] the range is located west of the
Howse,
Blaeberry and
Amiskwi Rivers and east of the
Bow and
Mistaya Rivers and south to
Kicking Horse Pass.
[5] Named in 1884 by
George M. Dawson, "waputik" is the
Stoney Indian word for
white goat.
[5]
Many of the highest peaks of the range are heavily glaciated as they sit within the
Waputik and
Wapta Icefields. The range is further divided into the
President Range and
Waputik Range
