Mount Warspite

Mount Warspite is a 2,860-metre (9,380-foot) mountain summit located in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada.

The peak is visible from Smith-Dorrien Road (742), and Alberta Highway 40 in the Kananaskis Lakes area.

[1] Like many of the mountains in Kananaskis Country, Mount Warspite is named after figures and ships involved in the 1916 Battle of Jutland, a significant naval engagement of the First World War.

Mount Warspite was named in 1917 for the British battleship HMS Warspite, one of the most decorated and revered ships in Royal Navy history that fought during the Battle of Jutland in World War I, and survived to also serve in World War II.

[2] Mount Warspite is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods.
