Mount Carnarvon is a 3,046-metre (9,993-foot) mountain summit located in the Kiwetinok River Valley of Yoho National Park, in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada.
The months July through September offer the most favorable weather for viewing or climbing Mount Carnarvon.
Originally known as Emerald Mountain, the mountain was named in 1900 by Alexander MacKinnon Burgess (Commissioner of Public Lands) after Henry Herbert, 4th Earl of Carnarvon (1831-1890), who in 1867 authored the British North America Act which conferred self-government on Canada.
[2] Then in 1874, he effected the settlement of difficulties between Canada and British Columbia on the "Carnarvon Terms".
Precipitation runoff from Mount Carnarvon drains into tributaries of the Kicking Horse River.
