Mount Blakiston, Mountain summit in Waterton Lakes National Park, Canada.
Mount Blakiston reaches an elevation of 2,910 meters, standing as the highest point within Waterton Lakes National Park in southwestern Alberta.
The mountain received its name in 1858 to honor Thomas Blakiston, a significant member of the Palliser Expedition exploring western Canada.
The first documented climb occurred in 1942 by J. Gibson and G. Williams, who found an existing cairn indicating earlier undocumented ascents.
Climbers can access the mountain through the Lineham Creek hiking trail, which follows the southern slopes and offers a moderate scrambling route.
The mountain contains sedimentary rock formations from the Precambrian to Jurassic periods, formed in ancient shallow seas before the Laramide orogeny.
