I'm not sure exactly why (maybe British fascination with Egypt at the time these were named) but a lot of the landmarks in this little corner of Banff share the theme: there's Pharaoh Peak (which is where this photo was taken from), Pharaoh Lake, Egypt Lake, Sphinx Peak, Scarab Lake, and Mummy Lake.
