This Natural Area complex consists of two portions: a Protective Notation (PNT) nested within a Consultative Notation (CNT) area. It is located at the eastern foot of Mt. Tecumseh, about 3 km north of Highway 3. The CNT portion of the NA is nearly twice as large as the inner PNT of the same name.

Other Information
Mount Tecumseh is an iconic landmark west of Coleman in the Crowsnest Pass area. It can be seen from Highway 3. The summit rises above Crowsnest Lake Natural Area (PNT). Its sister summit, Phillipps Summit, is directly on the Continental Divide and thus is split between Alberta and British Columbia [1].
Tecumseh is named for a Shawnee chief, leader of a First Nations confederacy, who fought on the British side against the Americans in the War of 1812. Tecumseh was a respected ally and leader of his people who was killed in the 1813 Battle of the Thames in the Great Lakes area of Ontario [2].
