Ursus Minor Mountain is a 2,749-metre (9,019-foot) mountain summit located in Glacier National Park, in the Hermit Range of the Selkirk Mountains in British Columbia, Canada. Ursus Minor Mountain is situated 56 km (35 mi) northeast of Revelstoke, and 44 km (27 mi) west of Golden. It is also set 3.5 km (2.2 mi) northwest of Cheops Mountain, and 4 km (2.5 mi) west of Rogers Pass. Its nearest higher peak is Grizzly Mountain, 1.27 km (0.79 mi) to the east-northeast. The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1907 by Rupert W. Haggen, with guide Edouard Feuz Jr. The mountain's name was adopted in 1906, then re-approved September 8, 1932, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada. It was so-named because of its proximity above Bear Creek (since renamed Connaught Creek), and in keeping with the bear theme of other nearby features such as Ursus Major Mountain, Grizzly Mountain, Bruins Pass, and Balu Pass.
