List of peaks on the British Columbia–Alberta border

This is a list of peaks on the British Columbia–Alberta border, being the spine of the Continental Divide from the Canada–United States border to the 120th meridian, which is where the boundary departs the Continental Divide and goes due north to the 60th parallel. Peaks are listed from north to south and include those not on the Continental Divide but which are on the 120th Meridian north of Intersection Mountain, which as its name implies is located at the intersection of the Divide and the Meridian.
