Miette Hill drains into Clairvaux Creek on the Alberta side of the boundary. Clairvaux Creek is a tributary of Miette River in the Athabasca River drainage. The Miette River, as well as various other geological features in Jasper National Park, are named after the Cree language word for bighorn sheep.
