Maligne Mountain is a large, glacier draped many-summited massif with five major peaks, none of which are separated by a col of more than 300 feet deep. In 1929 a party (names unknown) reached the summit of one of the lower peaks and the highest peak was reached in 1930. The mountain cannot be seen from the northern end of Maligne Lake but an impressive portion of it comes into view to the east as one approaches Spirit Island and Samson Narrows by boat.
