Mount Wilson (Alberta)

Mount Wilson is a 3,260-metre (10,696 ft) mountain summit located in the North Saskatchewan River valley of Banff National Park, in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada.

Its nearest higher peak is Mount Cline, 9.81 km (6.10 mi) to the northeast.

[2] Like other mountains in Banff Park, Mount Wilson is composed of sedimentary rock laid down from the Precambrian to Jurassic periods.

[5] The west and south aspects of the mountain are characterized by rugged, rocky cliff bands, whereas the north and east aspects of Mount Wilson are covered by expansive glacial ice called the Wilson Icefield.

Weather conditions during winter make Mount Wilson one of the premier places in the Rockies for ice climbing.
