Mount Howard Douglas is a 2,877-metre (9,439-foot) mountain summit located immediately east of the Banff Sunshine ski resort in Banff National Park of Alberta, Canada. It was named for Howard Douglas (1850-1929), a park superintendent credited with greatly expanding its size.[4] The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1958 when approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[3] Its nearest higher peak is Mount Bourgeau, 4.55 km (2.83 mi) to the north-northwest.[1]
