Sentinel Peak is a very tall mountain in British Columbia, Canada. It stands 2,513 meters (8,245 feet) high. This peak is special because it's quite isolated, meaning it stands alone without many other tall mountains very close by. It's also very prominent, which means it rises sharply from the land around it.
Sentinel Peak is made of limestone. It is located west of the Continental Divide. This is a line that separates rivers flowing to the Pacific Ocean from those flowing to the Atlantic or Arctic Oceans. Sentinel Peak is the highest point in the Misinchinka Ranges. These ranges are part of the larger Hart Ranges within the Northern Rocky Mountains.
