Description
WikipediaMount Romulus is a 2,832-metre (9,291-foot) mountain summit located in the Little Elbow River Valley of Kananaskis Country in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada. Weather permitting, the peak is visible from highways southwest of Calgary as it is recognizable by its signature band of snow that forms above the broad southeast cliffs. The mountain is named for Romulus, who along with his twin brother Remus were the mythological founders of Ancient Rome. Mount Remus (2688 m) is situated 2.0 km (1.2 mi) to the east-northeast. The name was officially adopted by the Geographical Names Board of Canada in 1940. Mount Romulus' nearest higher peak is Fisher Peak, 4.0 km (2.5 mi) to the northwest.
