Isolated Peak is located in Yoho National Park, in the Waputik Mountains of the Canadian Rockies.

Isolated Peak is more notable for its steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation as topographic relief is significant with the summit rising 700 meters (2,297 ft) above Twin Falls Creek in 1 km (0.62 mi) and 800 meters (2,625 ft) above Little Yoho River in 2.5 km (1.6 mi).

[5] The nearest higher neighbor is Mount McArthur, 1.46 km (0.91 mi) to the west.

[1] The mountain's toponym was officially adopted on March 31, 1924, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.
