Bastion Peak is a 2,994-metre (9,823 ft) mountain summit located on the shared border of Jasper National Park in Alberta, and Mount Robson Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada. It is situated in the Tonquin Valley in the Canadian Rockies. It was named in 1916 by Édouard-Gaston Deville because it has an appearance similar to that of a bastion on a castle.[2] Its nearest higher peak is Turret Mountain, 1.6 km (0.99 mi) to the west, and its greater parent is Mount Geikie 3 km (1.9 mi) to the west.[2]
