Cougar Mountain is a summit in the Elbow River Valley, Kananaskis Country, Alberta, Canada.[3]
Cougar 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.[5]
