Snowshoe Peak rises to 8,738 ft (2,663 m) in the Cabinet Mountains, on the border of Sanders and Lincoln counties in northwestern Montana. Its name appears on maps of the range that stretches into Idaho. The summit is counted among Montana's most prominent peaks, a status based on its elevation above the surrounding terrain rather than on any official designation.

The name comes from the mountain's shape, which resembles a snowshoe. The standard route approaches from the west and passes Leigh Lake, a lake east of the summit, before gaining the upper slopes. Blackwell Glacier lies north of the top.

The usual route comes from the west side and is a long approach, so plan for a full day or an overnight. The peak lies on the Sanders County–Lincoln County line in northwestern Montana. Leigh Lake sits east of the summit and Blackwell Glacier north of it; carry glacier travel gear if you cross the ice.

The northern face holds Blackwell Glacier, the last remaining named glacier in the Cabinet Mountains. This ice field serves as a remnant of the region's past glacial activity and draws the attention of those studying climate change effects.
