Mount Bridgland
Canadian Rockies
Mount Bridgland is a 2,930-metre (9,610 ft) mountain located in the Victoria Cross Ranges of Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada. It was named by Frank Sissons in 1923 after Morrison P. Bridgland (1878-1948), a Dominion Land Surveyor who named many peaks in Jasper Park and the Canadian Rockies.[4][1][2][5]
Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Bridgland is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[6] Temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. In terms of favorable weather, July through September are the best months to climb. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Miette River.
Geology
The mountain is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods and pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.[7]
