Description
WikipediaMist Mountain is a mountain located alongside Highway 40 in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada. It reaches an elevation of 3,140 m (10,300 ft) and is visible from Highway 40 and the Sheep River. The mountain was named in 1884 by George M. Dawson after he experienced a prolonged period of poor weather while near the western slopes of the range. Mist Mountain is composed of sedimentary rock that was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny. Hot springs near its base as well as panoramic views from the peak mean it is a popular hike for locals and tourists visiting the lower Kananaskis area.
