Mount Drysdale is a 2,932-metre (9,619-foot) mountain summit located on the western border of Kootenay National Park in the Vermilion Range, which is a sub-range of the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada. Its nearest higher peak is Rockwall Peak, 1.0 km (0.62 mi) to the west.[1] The mountain is part of what is known as the Rockwall which is an escarpment of the Vermilion Range.
