Mount Daly is located on the border of Alberta and British Columbia. It was named in 1898 by Charles E. Fay after Charles P. Daly, a geographer.[3][1][4] Mount Niles is located two km southwest of Daly.
Like other mountains in Banff Park, Mount Daly is composed of sedimentary rock laid down during the Precambrian to Jurassic periods.[5] Formed in shallow seas, this sedimentary rock was pushed east and over the top of younger rock during the Laramide orogeny.[6]
