Mount Eliza is located in the Fairweather Range and it ranks as the fourth-highest peak within Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park.

[2] Topographic relief is significant as the west slope rises approximately 1,450 metres (4,757 ft) in two kilometres (1.2 mile).

The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1924 by the Geographical Names Board of Canada,[3] following recommendation by surveyor John Davidson Craig of the International Boundary Survey.

[4] Mount Eliza is set seven kilometres from the Canada–US border and Glacier Bay National Park.

[5] Weather systems coming off the Gulf of Alaska are forced upwards by the Fairweather Range (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall.
