Chutine Peak is one of the highest mountains in the Boundary Ranges, a group of subranges of the northern Pacific Coast Range of British Columbia and Alaska. Chutine Peak lies just east of the Stikine Icecap, and west of the Stikine River. It is notable for its huge west face: the drop to Chutine Lake is 2,600 m (8,530 feet) in 3.5 km (2.2 miles). Due to its remoteness, however, it is rarely visited.
