It lies in the Bedded Range of the northern Canadian Cascades and is only 1 km (0.62 mi) away from the eastern flank of Coquihalla Mountain. It lies in the Bedded Range of the northern Canadian Cascades.

The mountain is a lava dome composed of andesite only 1 km (0.62 mi) away from the eastern flank of Coquihalla Mountain, a larger but more rugged volcano. These two volcanoes form part of the Cascade Volcanic Arc that extends south into the U.S. states of Washington, Oregon and California.
