Nature
Allstones Peak is a prominent 2,940-metre summit in Alberta’s Canadian Rockies, rising above the North Saskatchewan River valley and standing out as a readily visible landmark from the David Thompson Highway and Abraham Lake. Composed of sedimentary rock laid down from the Precambrian through the Jurassic, it was shaped by the Laramide orogeny, when older rock layers were thrust eastward over younger formations. Its runoff drains both east into Abraham Lake and northwest toward Littlehorn Creek. In a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters and mild summers, the mountain remains a notable feature of the Abraham Lake area and the surrounding highway landscape.
