The mountain is so named because of an "unnecessary" ascent over this mountain to reach The Lions.[1]

In December 2014, a rockslide killed 7-year-old Erin Kate Moore as she was hiking with a group on Unnecessary Mountain.[3]

A second peak, also named Unnecessary Mountain, is located in Alberta northwest of the town of Pincher Creek.[4]
