Mount Aylmer is a mountain in Banff National Park, Canada. At 3,162 m (10,374 ft), it is the highest point of the Palliser Range and the entire East Banff Ranges of the Canadian Rockies.[3] The mountain was named in 1890 by J.J. McArthur after his hometown of Aylmer, Quebec.[1]

The summit can be climbed via scrambling. Anyone who successfully reaches the summit is rewarded with not only a great view of Lake Minnewanka but also a summit registry box. Names collected in this box are entered into the archives of the Whyte Museum in Banff.[4]
