Mount Kain is a mountain located in the Fraser River Valley of Mount Robson Provincial Park, Canada. [6] Mt. Kain was named during a survey of the Mt. Robson region conducted by the Alpine Club of Canada during the summer of 1911. While surveying from a nearby peak, the party noticed the mountain and guide Conrad Kain exclaimed "Ach! That is my peak." Trip leader Arthur Oliver Wheeler recorded the peak as Mt. Kain. [7]
