Silvertip Mountain is a 2,596 m (8,517 ft) summit in the Canadian Cascades south of Hope, British Columbia.

[1] The mountain's toponym was officially adopted on December 2, 1948, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.

[4][5][6] During the Pleistocene period dating back over two million years ago, glaciation advancing and retreating repeatedly scoured the landscape leaving deposits of rock debris.

Uplift and faulting in combination with glaciation have been the dominant processes which have created the tall peaks and deep valleys of the North Cascades area.

As a result, the Cascade Mountains experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months in the form of snowfall.
