The Caribou Mountains reach an elevation of up to 1,030 m, making them the highest in northern Alberta. They rise north of the lower Peace River and are bounded to the north and east by Wood Buffalo National Park. The area was unglaciated during the last glacial period. The Caribou Mountains were affected by the 2024 Semo Lake Complex fire, which burned large portions of the plateau.
