Dungeon Peak is part of The Ramparts in the Tonquin Valley. The descriptive name was applied in 1916 by Morrison P. Bridgland (1878-1948), a Dominion Land Surveyor who named many peaks in Jasper Park and the Canadian Rockies.[1][2][4][5] The mountain's name was made official in 1935 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[6]
