Mount Henry MacLeod was named for Henry A. MacLeod, a Canadian Pacific Railroad surveyor who investigated a potential route in the Maligne Valley in 1875.[4]

Geology

Like other mountains in Banff Park, the mountain is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods.[5] Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.[6]

Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Henry MacLeod is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers.[7] Temperatures can drop below -20 °C with wind chill factors below -30 °C.
