Nature
Park Mountain is a 2,951-metre summit in Yoho National Park, British Columbia, above Lake McArthur in the Bow Range of the Canadian Rockies. In the Lake O’Hara area, it lies southeast of Field and west of the Continental Divide, with Mount Biddle as the nearest higher peak. First climbed in 1904 by a survey party, it received a name in 1915 inspired by the park-like surrounding landscape, and that name was officially adopted in 1952. Formed from sedimentary rock deposited from the Precambrian to the Jurassic and later thrust during the Laramide orogeny, it rises in a subarctic climate and drains into tributaries of the Kicking Horse River.
