Denali or Mount McKinley as it is popularly known is the largest & the highest mountain peak in North America. Mount Mckinley towers over the state of Alaska at a massive height of 20,320 feet. This massive snowy mass is flanked by five large glaciers that flow down its slopes. Denali has two significant summits with the South Summit being higher than the North Summit. While attempting a climb on Denali is not very difficult, the severe weather condition poses a constant threat for climbers.

Wrangell-St. Elias National Park is wild, rugged and absolutely enormous. This park, located a day’s drive east of Anchorage Alaska, is the largest unit of the National Park System. Wrangell-St. Elias National Park has the continent’s greatest collection of peaks over 16,000 feet tall, the largest assemblage of glaciers and the highest concentration of Dall Sheep. Mt. Blackburn, Mt. Sanford and the St. Elias Range have attracted mountaineers for generations. These are remote and difficult climbs that should only be attempted by self-sufficient mountaineers. It is also one of Alaska’s prime locations for unforgettable outdoor adventures like backcountry hiking & backpacking.

The Brooks Mountain Range in northern Alaska is the northernmost section of the Rocky Mountains and the highest mountain range in the Arctic Circle. The Brooks Range, which takes its name from Alfred Brooks, runs east to west across the state approximately 200 miles south of the Arctic Ocean. Although its 2 highest peaks hardly exceed 9000 feet, by every other measure the range is gargantuan, extending for 700 miles from the Yukon border to the Chukchi Sea on Alaska's west coast. The scenery in the Brooks Range is jaw dropping. The floors of its labyrinthine canyons are filled with rivers, lakes and meadows. 95% of the range's area is accessible only via airplane.
