Tsitsuti Peak is the main volcanic cone of the Rainbow Range in the Anahim Volcanic Belt in British Columbia, Canada, located within Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park, 43 km northwest of Anahim Lake and 44 km northeast of Thunder Mountain. The Rainbow Range is one of the three major shield volcanoes that formed when the North American Plate moved over a stationary hotspot, similar to the feeding the Hawaiian Islands, known as the Anahim hotspot.
