The mountain was named in 1886 after Louis B. Stewart who surveyed in the Banff Park area in 1904 with his father, George Stewart, the first Park Superintendent.
Geology
Mount Louis is composed of limestone, a sedimentary rock laid down during the Devonian period. Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.
Climate
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Louis is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers. Temperatures can drop below -20 °C with wind chill factors below -30 °C. Weather conditions during summer months are optimum for climbing. Precipitation runoff from Mount Louis drains into the Bow River which is a tributary of the Saskatchewan River.
