Tanada Peak is the erosional remnant of Tanada
Volcano which was an andesitic shield volcano which probably began forming 1.5 million years ago, with the last eruption occurring 970,000 years ago. Prior to one million years ago, the shield collapsed, forming a caldera. The peak is now the high point

is significant as the summit rises 5,750 feet (1,750 m) above Goat Creek valley in three miles (4.8 km). The mountain's name was applied in 1902 by David C. Witherspoon, U.S. Geological Survey topographer, in association with nearby Tanada Lake, and the toponym has been officially adopted

within a caldera measuring four by six miles (6.4 by 9.7 km). An unnamed glacier in the caldera on the peak's southwest slope is a small remnant of the much larger glaciers that once covered the volcano and carved away much of the 400 km (150 sq mi) shield.
