'''Protection Mountain''' is a mountain in the [[Canadian Rockies]] of [[Alberta]], Canada.
==Description==
Protection Mountain, elevation 2,972 metres (9,751 feet), is located in the [[Sawback Range]] immediately north of [[Castle Mountain]] in [[Banff National Park]]. The peak is situated 12 kilometres southeast of [[Lake Louise, Alberta|Lake Louise]] hamlet and five kilometres east of the [[Bow Valley Parkway]]. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into the [[Bow River]]. [[Topographic relief]] is significant as the summit rises 1,470 metres (4,823 feet) above [[Bow Valley]] in four kilometres (2.5 miles). The mountain was so named in 1911 by James F. Porter (1871–1939) because the mountain is said to protect an especially beautiful valley to the north which he called Wonder Valley.<ref name=peakfinder>{{cite peakfinder|id=1120|name=Protection Mountain|access-date=2024-04-20}}</ref> The mountain's toponym and position was officially adopted on October 20, 1983, by the [[Geographical Names Board of Canada]].<ref name=cgndb/> The summit is unofficially called "Television Peak" and it ranks as the sixth-highest peak in the Sawback Range.<ref name="pb"/>
==Climate==
Based on the [[Köppen climate classification]], Protection Mountain is located in a [[subarctic climate]] zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.<ref name=Peel>{{cite journal | author = Peel, M.
