It lies on the western side of the Fraser River and is the third-highest mountain of the Lillooet Ranges, after Skihist Mountain and Petlushkwohap Mountain in the Cantilever Range to the west of Lytton.

Situated on the west side of the Sea to Sky Highway, this less-travelled trail. About 30km north of Squamish on Highway 99, turn left onto Chance Creek Forest Service road, marked with a sign for cat skiing tours. The road is gravel with some bumps and steep sections. The lower portion is 2WD and accessible, but you will need 4WD to get all the way to the trailhead.[4]
From the hut and the nearby summit of Mount Brew, you can see several mountains in the Cascade Volcanic Complex, a string of volcanoes stretching along the Pacific Coast from California to B.C. Look for Mount Garibaldi and Black Tusk to the east and the jagged peaks of Mount Fee and Mount Cayley to the northwest.[4]
