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. HistoryThe 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] GeologyPark 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] ClimateBased 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.
