Park Mountain is a {{Convert|2951|m|ft|lk=on|abbr=off|adj=on}} mountain summit located above the southwest shore of Lake McArthur in Yoho National Park, in the Bow Range of the Canadian Rockies of British Columbia, Canada. Its nearest higher peak is Mount Biddle, {{convert|3.0|km|mi|abbr=on}} to the east.[1] Park Mountain is situated four kilometres west of the Continental Divide, and 12 kilometres southeast of Field, British Columbia.

History

The mountain was named in 1915 because of the "park-like" setting of the area.[3] The Lake O'Hara area that the mountain is located in is a gem within a park, the best that the Canadian Rockies has to offer.

The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1904 by a survey party.[1]

The mountain's name was made official in 1952 when approved by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[2]

Geology

Park Mountain is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods.[4] Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.[5]

Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Park Mountain is located in a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[6] Temperatures can drop below −20 C with wind chill factors below −30 C. Precipitation runoff from Park Mountain drains into tributaries of the Kicking Horse River which is a tributary of the Columbia River.
