Hewitt Peak

Hewitt Peak is a 3,066-metre (10,059 ft) mountain summit located on the western border of Kootenay National Park, in the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada.

[3] The alternate names derive from its outline profile resembling a mammoth, and its elevation as measured in feet.

The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1906 by members of the Dominion Land Survey.

[citation needed] Hewitt Peak is composed of limestone, a sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods.

[8] Based on the Köppen climate classification, Hewitt Peak is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.
