South Creek Butte

7,670 ft

South Creek Butte is a prominent peak located in the Pacific Ranges mountain range of British Columbia, Canada. Standing at an elevation of approximately 2,200 meters, this mountain offers breathtaking views and challenging terrain for mountaineers and backcountry enthusiasts.

During the winter season, South Creek Butte receives a substantial snowpack, with depths ranging from 2 to 5 meters. This makes it a popular destination for winter sports such as skiing and snowboarding. The snowpack typically remains stable from December to April, providing excellent conditions for winter adventures.

Several creeks and rivers benefit from the runoff of South Creek Butte. South Creek itself flows down the southern slopes of the mountain, eventually joining larger river systems in the region. This runoff contributes to the water supply and ecosystem of the surrounding areas.

The name "South Creek Butte" reflects its geographical location, situated near the South Creek watershed. The mountain's nomenclature does not carry any specific historical or cultural significance, and its lore or legends are largely absent from available sources.

In conclusion, South Creek Butte, with its impressive elevation, abundant winter snowpack, and contribution to surrounding waterways, offers a thrilling and picturesque mountaineering experience in the Pacific Ranges.
