Pylon Peak is the southernmost of six named volcanic peaks comprising the Mount Meager massif in British Columbia, Canada. Two pinnacled ridges extend from Pylon and are named respectively the Pylons and the Marionettes. Pylon Peak overlooks the Meager Creek Hot Springs.
Erosional remnants of flows from Devastator Peak form the stratified crags of Pylon Peak. These flows occurred 0.5–1.0 million years ago.[3]
