}}Eon Mountain is located on the border of Alberta and British Columbia on the Continental Divide. It is Alberta's 41st highest peak, and the 53rd highest peak in British Columbia. It was named in 1901 by James Outram.[1][2]

The first ascent of Mount Eon was in 1921 by Winthrop E. Stone, then President of Purdue University, who fell to his death shortly after reaching the summit.[1]

Geology

The mountain is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods.[3] Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.[4]

Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Eon Mountain is located in a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[5] Temperatures can drop below −20 C with wind chill factors below −30 C.
