Mount Grant is a 2,180-metre (7,150-foot) mountain summit located in the Canadian Cascades of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is situated 12 km (7 mi) southeast of Hope, and 15 km (9 mi) northwest of Silvertip Mountain. The peak was first climbed June 15, 1951, by Paul Binkert, John Booth, Dick Chambers, Jim Irving, Don Montgomery, and Jim Teevan.[1] The peak was named for Captain John M. Grant of the Royal Engineers by Fred Beckey in his Cascade Alpine Guide.[1] Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into tributaries of the Fraser River.
