Floe Peak is a 3,006-metre (9,862 ft) mountain summit located on the western border of Kootenay National Park, in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada. The name for this mountain has not been officially adopted yet. Its nearest higher peak is Foster Peak, 3.0 km (1.9 mi) to the northwest,[1] and both are part of the Vermilion Range. The mountain is part of what is known as the Rockwall in the Vermilion Range, and is named for Floe Lake[4] which is situated below the enormous northern cliffs of the peak.[1] Floe Lake, one of the beauty spots of Kootenay Park, is accessible via the Floe Lake Trail.
