Skihist Mountain is the highest peak in southwestern British Columbia. It is located on the southern boundary of Stein Valley Nlaka'pamux Heritage Park, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) west of Lytton.

Skihist Mountain consists of a north-south aligned ridge. Kent Creek drains the northeast side, and Nesbitt creek drains the west side; both feed the Stein River. Kwoiek and North Kwoiek Creeks drain the south and southeast sides.[3] The peak is most easily climbed via its south slopes, from the Kwoiek Creek drainage.[4]
