List of mountains of Alberta
Relief of Alberta
Most of Alberta's mountains are found on the western edge of the province of Alberta , consisting of the eastern slopes of the Canadian Rockies , which run through the province from Alberta's mid-point to its southern border with the United States . Other elevated spots can be found in the Caribou Mountains and the Cypress Hills .
The peaks of the Canadian Rockies are majestic, many of them reaching a height of more than three kilometres above sea level . Alberta's southwestern boundary is traced on the Continental Divide , along the high ranges of the Rocky Mountains , and many peaks are located on the Alberta–British Columbia border. The peak of Mount Columbia , within Jasper National Park , is the highest point in Alberta, second highest in the Canadian Rockies and 28th highest in Canada .
The Caribou Mountains are located in the northern extremity of Alberta, forming an elevated plateau in the northern plains and wetlands. They reach an altitude of 1,030 m, almost 700 m higher than the surrounding area.
While not considered mountains, the Cypress Hills, located in the south-eastern corner of Alberta, extending into Saskatchewan , constitute the highest terrain in Canada between the Rocky Mountains and Labrador . They reach a maximum elevation of 1,468 m, 600 m above the surrounding prairie.
