Mountain peaks of Canada

Canada is a really big and cold country, and it’s full of mountains! A mountain is a really big hill that goes up high into the sky. Some of Canada’s mountains are so tall that they have snow and ice on them all year round!

Mountains are really special because they have different shapes, heights, and colors. Some mountains are pointy and sharp like a pyramid, and some are round and bumpy like a giant potato. Canada’s mountains are all very different!

One of the most famous mountains in Canada is called Mount Logan. It’s really, really tall, like 20 giraffes stacked on top of each other! Mount Logan is so tall that it is covered in snow and ice all the time, even in the middle of summer.

Another famous mountain in Canada is called Mount Assiniboine. It has a really pretty shape that looks like a pointed cake! Mount Assiniboine is also really tall, like 16 giraffes stacked on top of each other.

Canada has lots and lots of mountains, and they are all really beautiful! Some are really tall, and some are not as tall, but they are all special in their own way. People like to visit mountains and climb them, but it’s important to be careful because mountains can be dangerous and very cold!
