Nature
Mount Ogden is a steep, prominent peak in Yoho National Park in British Columbia’s Canadian Rockies, rising sharply above Yoho Valley near Sherbrooke Lake and the Trans-Canada Highway. Its runoff drains into both the Yoho River and Sherbrooke Creek before reaching the Kicking Horse River. Named for Isaac Gouverneur Ogden of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the mountain also became tied to railway engineering when a Spiral Tunnel built in 1909 loops inside it to ease operations at Kicking Horse Pass. Mount Ogden is formed of ancient sedimentary rock later thrust over younger rock and stands in a subarctic climate with severe winter cold.
