Vantage Peak is a 2,235-metre (7,333-foot) mountain summit located in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, Canada. It is part of the Joffre Group, which is a subset of the Lillooet Ranges.[1] It is situated 28.5 km (18 mi) east of Pemberton on the boundary of the Nlháxten/Cerise Creek Conservancy. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains southwest into Twin One Creek thence Lillooet Lake; the north slope drains into headwaters of Cerise Creek; and the east slope drains into Caspar Creek thence Cayoosh Creek which is within the Fraser River watershed. Vantage Peak is more notable for its steep rise above local terrain than for its absolute elevation as topographic relief is significant with the summit rising 1,135 meters (3,724 ft) above Twin One Creek in 4 km (2.5 mi). The nearest higher neighbor is Mount Duke, 2.08 km (1 mi) to the southeast.[1][2]
