The Miette forms at the base of Mount Moren, with meltwater from Mount Bridgeland, Salient Mountain, Mount McCord, and Mount Beaupre contributing to the initial flow.
The Miette River, as well as various other geological features in Jasper National Park, are named after the Cree language word for bighorn sheep.
