Mount Whyte

Mount Whyte is a mountain in Alberta, Canada located in Banff National Park, near Lake Louise.

The mountain can be seen from the Trans-Canada Highway, and offers views of the Valley of the Ten Peaks, including the Chateau Lake Louise.

The scramble should not be attempted in snowy conditions due to considerable fall distance which would likely prove fatal.

While mostly a scramble as well, a short section of difficult climbing near the top in addition to route finding challenges and loose rock will not make it an easy ascent.

Like other mountains in Banff Park, Mount Whyte is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods.
