Grizzly Butte is a small shield volcano located in northwestern British Columbia, Canada.[1] It is Holocene in age and stands in relief above the surrounding area north of the Nazcha Creek and, with West Vent and Volcano Vent, comprises the West Tuya lava field. It is one of three small shield volcanoes in the Tuya Volcanic Field, which in turn form part of the Northern Cordilleran Volcanic Province.
