Odaray Mountain

Odaray Mountain is a 3,137-metre peak in Yoho National Park’s Bow Range, rising west of Lake O'Hara in the Canadian Rockies. Its early climbing history is uncertain: James J. McArthur made an ascent in 1887 and named it Odaray, but he may have reached the lower summit now called Little Odaray, while another account credits Samuel Evans Stokes Allen with naming it in 1894. The official name Odaray Mountain was fixed in 1952 after Mount Odaray was dropped. Formed from ancient sedimentary rock later thrust eastward during the Laramide orogeny, the mountain drains into the Kicking Horse River system and remains valued for climbing and its alpine setting.
