Finney Peak is a prominent mountain located in the Pacific Ranges, a sub-range of the Coast Mountains in British Columbia, Canada. Standing tall at an elevation of approximately 2,313 meters (7,589 feet), it offers breathtaking views of the surrounding rugged landscape. This majestic peak is renowned among mountaineers for its challenging terrain and stunning alpine scenery.

During the winter seasons, Finney Peak receives considerable snowfall, transforming it into a winter wonderland. The snowpack range varies each year, but it is typically abundant, making it an ideal destination for winter sports enthusiasts. The deep snow and steep slopes provide excellent opportunities for backcountry skiing, snowboarding, and snowshoeing.

Several creeks and rivers in the area benefit from the runoff of Finney Peak. One such waterway is the picturesque Finney Creek, which originates from the melting snow and ice on the mountain. It meanders through the surrounding valleys, offering a refreshing water source for hikers and wildlife alike.

Although information about the name's origin is scarce, Finney Peak is believed to have been named after an early settler or explorer in the region. Unfortunately, no specific historical or legendary tales are associated with the mountain, adding to its mysterious allure. With its impressive elevation, winter snowpack, and role in providing water to local creeks and rivers, Finney Peak stands as a captivating destination for mountaineers and outdoor enthusiasts seeking an exhilarating adventure in the Pacific Ranges.
