It is located on the Continental Divide on the border of Banff and Yoho National Parks and is part of the Bow Range of the Banff-Lake Louise Core Area in the Canadian Rockies.
The peak was named in 1894 after Arthur Edmund Leake Ringrose (1852-1924)[4][5] by Samuel Allen, because previously Allen had met Ringrose, while Allen was visiting the Rockies. Ringrose was visiting from London, England.[2] Arthur died on 25 February 1924 in Middleton Tyas, Richmond, Yorkshire, England.[4] He was buried four days later in the churchyard of St Michael & All Angels, which is just outside the village of Middleton Tyas.[5][6]
