Anniversary Peak is a 2,947-metre (9,669-foot) summit in The Bugaboos of British Columbia, Canada. It is located southeast of the Bugaboo Glacier, on the southern boundary of Bugaboo Provincial Park.[5] Precipitation runoff from Anniversary Peak drains into Bugaboo Creek which is a tributary of the Columbia River. Anniversary Peak is more notable for its steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation as topographic relief is significant with the summit rising 1,350 meters (4,429 ft) above Bugaboo Creek in 4 km (2.5 mi).
