The Warren Group is outlined by Vowell Creek on the west, Bobbie Burns Creek on the northeast, Bugaboo Creek on the southeast, and the creek just south of Rockypoint Creek on the south.
It is a large area which contains several summits over 2600 meters. Warren Creek, tributary to Bobbie Burns Creek, nearly bisects it. CMH uses the ridges for heli-hiking. The Kootenay Mountaineering Club held 3 weeks of hiking camps here in 2007 and climbed everything that could be ascended. They accessed the camp by helicopter.
