Mount Baker is mountain on the Continental Divide, in Alberta and British Columbia, in the Waputik Mountains of the Canadian Rockies. It was named in 1898 by J. Norman Collie after his friend and climbing partner George Percival Baker (1855–1951), textile manufacturer, plantsman and gardener, and keen mountaineer. Baker described his visit to this area which took place in 1897. In this small volume Baker also noted that Collie proposed also name a pass 6800 ft after him. Collie and Baker were accompanied by Peter Sarbach, and (for the first week) by H. B. Dixon and some American members of the Appalachian Mountain Club.
