Mount John Laurie is a mountain in the Canadian Rockies, in Alberta's Municipal District of Bighorn No.

[6] Standing at approximately 2,240 m (7,350 ft) above sea level,[7] Mount John Laurie is the last mountain on the north side of the Bow River valley (Bow Valley) as it exits the mountains for the foothills and prairie of Alberta.

Located close to Calgary, it is a popular "great scramble"[further explanation needed].

It is also a popular rock climbing destination, with over 100 routes of all difficulty levels spread out across its face.

Mount John Laurie is the result of the McConnell Thrust Fault, which put the resistive, cliff-forming Cambrian carbonate rock of the Eldon Formation on top of the much younger and weaker Cretaceous aged, clastic Belly River Formation[8][9] The fault, which sits at the base of the cliff face, represents an age difference of around 450 million years.
