Snow Dome is a mountain located on the Continental Divide in the Columbia Icefield of Jasper National Park. The mountain was named in 1898 by J. Norman Collie because its snow-capped massif resembles a dome.
The mountain is the hydrological apex of North America as water from this point flows into rivers that drain into the Pacific, Atlantic and Arctic oceans.
