Mount Saskatchewan is a mountain located in the North Saskatchewan River valley of Banff National Park, in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada.
J. Norman Collie named the mountain in 1898 for the nearby Saskatchewan River.
A pinnacle unofficially named Lighthouse Tower (2,960 m (9,710 ft)) is located on the eastern ridge of the mountain. It was first climbed in 1964 by G. Boehnisch and L. Mackay.
Famous quotes containing the word mount:
“On the 31st of August, 1846, I left Concord in Massachusetts for Bangor and the backwoods of Maine,... I proposed to make excursions to Mount Ktaadn, the second highest mountain in New England, about thirty miles distant, and to some of the lakes of the Penobscot, either alone or with such company as I might pick up there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
