Mount Allenby

Mount Allenby is a 2,995-meter peak in Alberta's Banff National Park near the southern end of the Sundance Range in the Canadian Rockies. Rising sharply above Bryant Creek Valley, its summit climbs 1,115 meters in just 2 kilometers, and water from its slopes drains through Allenby and Mercer creeks toward the Spray Lakes Reservoir. The mountain was named for British Army field marshal Edmund Allenby, 1st Viscount Allenby, and the name was officially adopted in 1924. Its sedimentary rock was deposited from the Precambrian to the Jurassic in shallow seas, then pushed eastward over younger rock during the Laramide orogeny. It lies in a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters and mild summers.
