 Location: The Niut Range is located northeast of the Waddington Range, divided from it by the Mosley Creek - Homathko River valley. To the west lies Tatlayoko Lake and to the south lies the Homathko Icefield. To the northwest is the Pantheon Range. The nearest town is Tatla Lake, on the Bella Coola Highway.
Terrain: Drainage: The southern part of the range drains into the Homathko River, which then flows west, cutting right through the Coast Range to Bute Inlet. The northern flank of the range drains into Mosley Creek which again flows into the Homathko River. The rock in the Niut Range is by and large non-granitic, and the Niut Range is, with few exceptions, not a rock climbing destination, especially with the Waddington, Homathko and Pantheon areas nearby. Razorback is composed of horizontally banded rocks which makes it look like a peak from the Canadian Rockies and somewhat out of place on the Coast. The north/east side of the range tends to have plateau areas and broad, gentle valleys while the south/west side has steeper slopes and narrower valleys.
