Pope's Peak is a mountain on the border of Alberta and British Columbia in western Canada

It is located on the Continental Divide and is part of the Bow Range of the Canadian Rockies. The mountain sits between Lake Louise Valley and Cataract Brook, bordering both Banff and Yoho national parks.

The mountain was first climbed in 1903 by George Collier and his brother Joseph, guided by Christian Kauffman. It was originally known as "Boundary Peak", since the continental divide goes through the mountain into Kicking Horse Pass.
