TheSkeena Mountains, also known asthe Skeenas, are a subrange of theInterior Mountains of northernBritish Columbia,Canada, essentially flanking the upper basin of theSkeena River. They lie just inland from the southern end of theBoundary Ranges of theCoast Mountains, and from the northern end of theKitimat Ranges, another subrange of the Coast Mountains. Their southern limit is described by theBulkley River and the upper northwestern reaches ofBabine andTakla Lakes. To the northeast, their boundary is marked by the upper reaches of theOmineca River.
To the north, the Skeenas abut the southernTahltan Highland andKlastline Plateau, part of the southern reaches of theStikine Plateau, and theSpatsizi Plateau, another subplateau of the Stikine. To the northwest, across the narrow confines of theSpatsizi Plateau, are theStikine Ranges of theCassiar Mountains, while to the east of the Skeenas are theOmineca Mountains. To the south lie theHazelton Mountains.
