Citadel Peak

Citadel Peak is a mountain on the Alberta and British Columbia border along the Continental Divide. Arthur O. Wheeler named it in 1913. Its geology reflects sedimentary rock laid down in shallow seas from the Precambrian through the Jurassic, then thrust eastward over younger rock during the Laramide orogeny. The mountain stands in a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, mild summers, and severe winter conditions that can drop below -20 degrees Celsius, with wind chills below -30 degrees Celsius.
