Mount Barnard is located on the border of Alberta and British Columbia, NW of the head of Waitabit Creek and North of Golden. It is the 30th highest peak in Alberta and the 42nd highest peak in British Columbia. It was named in 1917 by boundary surveyors after Sir Francis Stillman Barnard, a Lieutenant Governor of BC during the 1910s. It should not be confused with the higher Californian peak of the same name.
