Looking at the backside of Mount Assiniboine from Penny's Peak.
This hike starts in British Columbia and crossing the boundary into Banff National Park on the way in. From the summit you have amazing views of the backside of Mount Assiniboine in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park in BC. “Penny's Peak” is an unofficial name for the scenic subsidiary summit located between Marvel Pass and Marvel Peak in Banff National Park. “Penny’s Peak” is also known as “Little Marvel,” although there’s nothing “little” about the panorama its summit offers. Marvel Pass, Peak and Lake were officially named in 1917 for the HMS Marvel (a destroyer involved in the Battle of Jutland). It’s likely that the name was also applied as part of a series of superlatives used to describe this remote region’s scenic nature.
