Mount Daly is located on the border of Alberta and British Columbia. It was named in 1898 by Charles E. Fay after Charles P. Daly, a geographer.[1] [2] [4] Mount Niles is located two km southwest of Daly.
Like other mountains in Banff Park, Mount Daly 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.[5]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Daly is located in a subarctic climate with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[6] Temperatures can drop below -20 °C with wind chill factors below -30 °C.
