Mount Robertson

Mount Robertson stands in the Canadian Rockies on the Alberta-British Columbia boundary between Palliser Pass and North Kananaskis Pass, with its British Columbia side in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park. Named for Sir William Robertson, Chief of the Imperial General Staff during the First World War, the mountain reflects both imperial and regional history. Its sedimentary rock was laid down from the Precambrian to the Jurassic in ancient shallow seas and later thrust eastward over younger rock during the Laramide orogeny. South of the peak lies the Haig Glacier, the largest single glacier in Kananaskis Country. A subarctic climate gives the mountain cold, snowy winters, mild summers, and severe alpine conditions.
