Mount Noyes

Mount Noyes is a 3,080-metre peak in Banff National Park’s Mistaya River valley, where Silverhorn Creek meets the Mistaya River. Its dramatic relief rises more than 1,380 metres above the Icefields Parkway in only two kilometres. Named in 1898 for Rev. Charles Lathrop Noyes, a prominent Appalachian Mountain Club climber in the Rockies, the mountain was officially recognized in 1924 and first climbed in 1902 by J. Norman Collie, Hugh M. Stutfield, Herman Woolley, and George M. Weed. Formed from ancient sedimentary rocks later thrust eastward during the Laramide orogeny, it also retains a glacier on its north slope and drains into the North Saskatchewan River system.
