Mount Inglismaldie
The mountain was named in 1886 by park superintendent George A. Stewart after Inglismaldie Castle in Kincardineshire, Scotland.
The first ascent of the mountain was made in 1933 by H. Foster, J. Packer, M.C. Wylie, Betts, Dickson, W. Innes, L. DeCouteur, J. Miskow, Sadler, and Vallance with guide Lawrence Grassi.
Geology
Like other mountains in Banff National Park, Mount Inglismaldie is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods. Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.
