Mount Judge Howay, originally the Snow Peaks (a term which included Mount Robie Reid), is a distinctive twin summit located 10 km (6 mi) from the north end of Stave Lake, and is visible from many of the peaks around Vancouver, British Columbia.

Name

Mount Judge Howay is named for Frederic W. Howay, a noted jurist and judge primarily known for being an authority on the history of British Columbia. Just to the southwest, Mount Robie Reid commemorates his life-long colleague in law and history, Robie Lewis Reid.

Access

Because if its remote location and complicated topography, it is a very difficult peak to climb. To approach it from the southeast requires a canoe to get to the head of the lake, an approach on deactivated logging roads, a ford of the Stave River, climbing through steep Pacific Coast rainforest while orienteering through cliff bands.
