Fisher Peak

Fisher Peak is a 3,053-metre summit in the Fisher Range of Alberta’s Canadian Rockies and the highest point in its range. Its runoff drains west to Evan-Thomas Creek and east to the Little Elbow River. Named in 1920 for British admiral John Arbuthnot Fisher, known as Jackie Fisher, the name was officially adopted in 1924, and the first recorded ascent followed in 1950 by J.F. Tarrant. The mountain was formed from sedimentary rock laid down in ancient shallow seas from the Precambrian to the Jurassic, then thrust eastward over younger layers during the Laramide orogeny. It has a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters and mild summers.
