Little Temple

Little Temple is a 2,653-metre mountain in Banff National Park, Alberta, in the Canadian Rockies. Rising in the Bow River Valley between Paradise Creek and Moraine Creek, it stands about 6 kilometres south of Lake Louise and is visible from the Icefields Parkway beside Mount Temple. Its sedimentary rock was laid down in shallow seas from the Precambrian to the Jurassic, then older layers were thrust eastward over younger rock during the Laramide orogeny, shaping the landscape. In a subarctic climate, it has cold snowy winters, mild summers, and runoff that drains to the Bow River within the Saskatchewan River system.
