Eaton Peak is a 2,117-metre (6,946-foot) double summit mountain located in the Canadian Cascades of southwestern British Columbia, Canada. It is situated 17 km (11 mi) southeast of Hope, 3 km (2 mi) south of Mt. Grant, and 12.6 km (8 mi) northwest of Silvertip Mountain.[3] The peak was first climbed in 1950 by J. Butcher, F. Rodgers, and E. Jenkins.[1] The peak was named to honor Canadian Army Private Douglas B. Eaton (1911-1944), from nearby Chilliwack, who was killed in action in World War II.[4] The mountain's name was officially adopted April 7, 1955, by the Geographical Names Board of Canada.[2] Nearby Eaton Creek and Eaton Lake were named in memory of his younger brother, William, also killed in action a year earlier.[4] Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into Silverhope Creek, a tributary of the Fraser River.
