Nature
Mount Daly stands in the Waputik Range on the Alberta-British Columbia border in Canada and was named in 1898 by Charles E. Fay for geographer Charles P. Daly. Near Mount Niles, about two kilometres to the southwest, it is one of Banff Park’s mountains formed from sedimentary rock deposited in ancient shallow seas from the Precambrian through the Jurassic. During the Laramide orogeny, these older rocks were pushed eastward over younger layers. The mountain lies in a subarctic climate marked by cold, snowy winters, mild summers, and temperatures that can fall below -20 °C, with wind chills below -30 °C.
