Tangle Ridge is a Vorlage:Convert mountain summit located in Jasper National Park, in the Canadian Rockies of Alberta, Canada. Tangle Ridge is situated south of Beauty Creek and north of Tangle Creek, in the Sunwapta River valley. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 1,200 metres (3,937 ft) above Beauty Creek in Vorlage:Convert. Views from the top of Tangle Ridge provide photographers with an opportunity to capture the peaks surrounding the Columbia Icefield, some of which, such as Mount Columbia and Mount Alberta, are otherwise hidden from view along the Icefields Parkway.

History

The mountain was named by Mary Schäffer in 1907 for the difficulty that climbers had descending down Tangle Creek from the ridge. The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1935 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.

Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Tangle Ridge is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold, snowy winters, and mild summers. Winter temperatures can drop below Vorlage:Cvt with wind chill factors below Vorlage:Cvt. Weather conditions during winter make Tangle Ridge one of the better places in the Rockies for ice climbing. Precipitation runoff from Tangle Ridge drains into the Sunwapta River which is a tributary of the Athabasca River.

Geology

Tangle Ridge is composed of sedimentary rock laid down from 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.
