Description: Crows Nest Mountain is a 9,137 ft mountain in the southern Canadian Rockies of southwestern Alberta Canada. The mountain was originally named by the “Ktunaxa First Nations” due to ravens nesting in the area. The scrambling route on the north side was first ascended in 1915. The grey rocks exposed in the cliffs on the upper part of the mountain are limestones and shales of Late Deovonian to Early Mississippian Age. They were moved up from the west along the “Lewis thrust fault” and emplaced over younger rocks that underlie the wooded lower slopes of the mountain. During that movement they were formed into a broad syncline by fault-bend folding. The Devonian to Mississippian rock is part of the Lewis thrust sheet which was originally continuous from the High Rock Range immediately to the west. The thrust sheet had since been cut through by erosion along Alllison Creek. This card was published by “J.F. Spalding, Fernie B.C.” with the caption “Crows Nest Mountain, 10,000 Feet”. It is in good to very good condition with minor wear and a clean, clear image of the mountain and a lonely tree. The reverse is clean with some left-over album page. The colors on the card may vary due to the scanner settings and screen projections.Unless otherwise noted, I use Wikipedia, Playle's and Metropostcard for research and try to be as accurate as possible.
