Nature
Mount Arethusa is a peak in Alberta’s Canadian Rockies, in Kananaskis Country beside Highway 40 just east of the Highwood Pass parking lot. Part of the Misty Range in the Southern Continental Ranges, it is closely linked with nearby Little Arethusa. Together the two mountains form the southern wall of the Ptarmigan cirque, a notable landscape feature reached by a popular short hike from Highwood Pass. The mountain’s name honors HMS Arethusa, a British cruiser that was sunk in the Battle of Dogger Bank in 1915.
