Among the new placenames that Charles Doolittle Walcott [1850–1927] suggested during the 1912 Smithsonian expedition to the Mount Robson area was “Tah (moose) Mountain” (8,817 feet), a peak southwest side of Moose Pass.” Walcott considered Tah to be an “Indian name” for moose
In the photo it’s identified as “Tau Peak,” and Walcott also refers to “Tau Pass.”
The mountain does not have an official name.
