Valley of the Ten Peaks is a valley in Banff National Park that is crowned by ten notable peaks and also includes Moraine Lake. The valley can be reached by following the Moraine Lake road near Lake Louise. The ten peaks were originally named by Samuel Allen, an early explorer of the region. Mount Hungabee, was not included in the original list by Allen, even though it is higher than Wenkchemna Peak, the latter of which is really an extension of Hungabee.
The ten peaks, in order of how they are numbered from east to west, are:
| # | Peak | metres | feet
