Mount Brewster

Mount Brewster is a 2,859-metre summit in Banff National Park’s Vermilion Range in Alberta’s Canadian Rockies. Named in 1929 by Tom Wilson for John Brewster, father of the Brewster family of Banff, it reflects a family closely linked to the area’s early development. The mountain is composed of sedimentary rock deposited from the Precambrian to the Jurassic in ancient shallow seas, then pushed eastward over younger layers during the Laramide orogeny, creating its rugged form. It stands within one of Canada’s best-known protected mountain landscapes and has a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, mild summers, and severe winter wind chills.
