Mount Currie

Mount Currie is a two thousand seven hundred seventy-metre summit in the upper Spray River Valley of Banff National Park in Alberta’s Canadian Rockies. Named in 1918 for General Sir Arthur William Currie, the first Canadian commander of the Canadian Corps and later the Canadian Army during the First World War, its name was formally adopted in 1924. The mountain is formed of sedimentary rock laid down from the Precambrian through the Jurassic and later thrust eastward during the Laramide orogeny. Its southeast face shows striking chevron folds in calcareous shale, and its runoff feeds Currie Creek and White Man Creek, tributaries of the Spray River.
