Cascade Peak is a prominent mountain located in the Pacific Ranges mountain range in British Columbia, Canada. Standing at an impressive elevation of 2,155 meters (7,070 feet), it offers breathtaking views and a challenging climbing experience. The mountain's size is notable, with a prominence of 1,495 meters (4,905 feet), making it a striking presence in the surrounding landscape.

During the winter season, Cascade Peak receives a significant amount of snowfall, transforming it into a winter wonderland. The snowpack range varies from year to year, but it typically accumulates from late fall to early spring, providing excellent conditions for snowshoeing and skiing enthusiasts. Additionally, the mountain's snow-covered slopes contribute to the water supply of nearby creeks and rivers during the warmer months, creating a vital water source for the ecosystem.

The name Cascade Peak is believed to have derived from the cascading waterfalls that can be found on its slopes during the melt of the winter snowpack. These cascades contribute to the water runoff that feeds into the surrounding creeks and rivers. While there are no specific legends or lore associated with this mountain, its majestic presence and challenging ascent have undoubtedly captivated the imaginations of mountaineers throughout history.
