Castle Mountain: HFF!

Castle Mountain is a mountain located within Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies, approximately halfway between Banff and Lake Louise. [... ]. The mountain's castellated, or castle-like, appearance is a result of erosive processes acting at different rates on the peak's alternating layers of softer shale and harder limestone, dolomite and quartzite.

 

The mountain was named in 1858 by James Hector for its castle-like appearance. Wikipedia
