Storelk Mountain is located on the border of Alberta and British Columbia on the Continental Divide. It was named in 1915.[1][2] The toponym is a portmanteau that combines "stor" and "elk", as the mountain is positioned between Storm Creek and Elk River.[1]

Geology

Storelk Mountain 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.[3]
