Mount Rundle is made up of the seven Rundle Peaks, stretching along the south side of the Trans-Canada Highway between Canmore and Banff in the Alberta Rockies. Mt. Rundle is comprised of limestone and shale layers, which have formed and eroded over millennia into this picturesque sloping mountain range. Layers of morning colour on this mountain, reflected in Vermillion Lake, are the inspiration for this ripple lace and colour-work cowl.
