| Description |
Per Wikipedia: "Mount Paul is a 2,850 metre (9,350 feet) mountain summit towering 1134 metres (3,720 feet) above the east shore of Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park, in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada. The nearest higher peak is Maligne Mountain, 1.81 km (1.12 mi) to the north-northwest. Mount Paul was named by Mary Schäffer after Paul Sharples, Mary's nine year old nephew who accompanied her on her second expedition to Maligne Lake in 1911. Mary originally referred to this mountain as 'The Thumb' during her first successful expedition to Maligne Lake in 1908. The first ascent of Mount Paul was made in 1928 by W.R. Hainsworth and M.M. Strumia. The mountain's name became official in 1946 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. Mount Mary Vaux is a 3,201 metre (10,500 feet) mountain summit towering the west shore of Maligne Lake in Jasper National Park. Mary Schaffer named this spectacular peak in the Maligne Lake Valley for her friend who she travelled with to Glacier House in 1889. Mary Vaux was one of a wealthy and influential family from Philadelphia who were regular visitors to Glacier House in the Selkirk Mountains. Mount Mary Vaux is not visible from the northern end of the Maligne Lake, but its glacier draped summit comes into view above the western side of the valley as one approaches Spirit Island and Samson Narrows by boat."
