The nearest higher peak is Jumbo Mountain, 0.79 km (0.49 mi) to the east-northeast, and The Lieutenants is set 2 km (1.2 mi) to the northwest. Karnak and Jumbo form a double summit massif which is the second-highest mountain in the Purcells. The first ascent of Karnak Mountain was made August 14, 1915, by A.H. & E.L. MacCarthy, M. & W.E. Stone, and Conrad Kain via the southwest slopes. The peak was named in 1910 by Stone and MacCarthy after Karnak, the Egyptian Temple Complex. The mountain's name was officially adopted June 9, 1960, when approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
