They belong to the Columbia mountain range. Neighbouring in the west are the Selkirk Mountains.

Its north end is in Robson Valley at Valemount BC. Peaks include Hallam Peak (3,205 m) and Cranberry Mountain (2,872 m). Between Revelstoke and Shuswap Lake the range is crossed by Highway 1, the Trans-Canada Highway and the mainline of the Canadian Pacific Railway thorough Eagle Pass.
