Park visitors can see the peak from Highway 93, also known as the Banff-Windermere Highway. It is part of the Mitchell Range, which is a sub-range of the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada. Its nearest higher peak is Mount Assiniboine, {{convert|14.0|km|mi|abbr=on}} to the northeast.[1] HistoryThe mountain was named in 1923 by Morrison P. Bridgland in honor of James Bernard Harkin (1875-1955), who was Canada's first National Parks commissioner from 1911 until 1936.[5] Harkin established 11 new national parks and has been called the "Father of the National Parks of Canada."[6] The mountain's name was officially adopted in 1924 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[2] Bridgland (1878-1948) was a Dominion Land Surveyor who named many peaks in the Canadian Rockies.[7] GeologyMount Harkin is composed principally of Ottertail limestone, a sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Cambrian periods and pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.[8] ClimateBased on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Harkin is located in a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[9] Temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains east into tributaries of the Cross River, or directly west to the Kootenay River. See also
