Mount Kidd

Mount Kidd is a prominent double-summit massif in Kananaskis Country, Alberta, standing in Spray Valley Provincial Park and overlooking landmarks near Kananaskis Village. Named in 1907 for Morley storekeeper Fred Kidd, who supplied local expeditions and survey crews, it was first recorded as climbed in 1947 and officially adopted in 1953. Its true summit is the higher north peak, and the mountain is known for scramble routes, technical rock climbs, and winter ice climbing. Geologically, it consists of sedimentary rock thrust eastward over younger strata and marks the northern end of the Lewis Thrust Fault. It has also been the site of fatal accidents.
