I think that is Anderson Peak. from summitpost.org: An interesting geological feature of Mount Anderson is its Purcell Sill. "When viewed from the Red Rock Canyon road, the sharp summits of Anderson peak feature a black, horizontal stripe. This is the Purcell Sill, created when magma (molten rock) was injected under tremendous pressures between layers of sedimentary rock near the top of the Siyeh formation. The magma then slowly cooled to become diabase, the coarse grained equivalent of basalt. Igneous rock such as this is very rare in the Canadian Rockies." [Ben Gadd]
Mount Anderson is one of the peaks of the Clark Range.
Mount Anderson was named in 1882 after Captain Samuel Anderson. Captain Anderson was employed as the Chief Astronomer in the Royal Engineers with the International Boundary Survey of 1872-1874. The Canada–United States border is officially known as the International Boundary and is the longest border in the world.
Anderson was born November 15, 1839 in London, England. He passed away at his mother’s home, Dalhousie Grange, in Scotland.
