Akasik Mountain is a mountain in the Lillooet Ranges of British Columbia, Canada, located southwest of the town of Lytton.[2]
The mountain is associated in the lore of the Nlakaʼpamux people with Skihist Mountain, whose name means "jump" or "leap" and is a reference to a mythological giant who leapt back and forth between Skihist and this summit.[2]
