Mount Dennis is a 2,549-metre (8,363-foot) mountain summit located three kilometres south of Field in Yoho National Park, in the Park Ranges of British Columbia, Canada. The nearest higher neighbor is Mount Stephen, 4.0 km (2.5 mi) to the northeast, and Mount Burgess is six kilometres north on the opposite side of the Kicking Horse River valley. Mount Dennis has over 1,200-metre (3,900-foot) of vertical relief above Highway 1, the Trans-Canada Highway, which traverses the northwest foot of the mountain. Precipitation runoff from Mount Dennis drains into tributaries of the Kicking Horse River which in turn is a tributary of the Columbia River.
