This is a 180° panorama of the sunset sky from the Howse Pass Viewpoint over the North Saskatchewan River In Banff National Park, Alberta. At left is the waxing gibbous Moon in the twilight sky. Below the Moon is the Mistaya Valley in the distance, and the line of Mount Chephren, Epaulette Mountain and Mount Sarbach. At left is Mount Murchison. The peaks are lit by the alpen glow of the setting Sun.

At centre the view is toward Howse Pass, an old fur trading route use for a time by David Thompson, to travel over the Divide to the interior of British Columbia.

Mount Murchison was named by James Hector in September 1858, as part of the Palliser Expedition of scientists and surveyors, and honours Sir Roderick Murchison, the 19th century English geologist and director of the Geological Survey of Great Britain. When passing through this area in 1858 Hector also observed Donati's Comet.
