Bonnet Peak is a massif consisting of three separate peaks: Centre (3235m), SE (3215m) and NE (3094m).[1] It is near the source of Johnston Creek although its southern and eastern slopes drain into the Cascade River. Named in 1890 due to its appearance with a cap of snow.[2][1] It is located in the Sawback Range of Alberta.[1][2]
