About Ahklun Mountains

The Ahklun Mountains are a remote and rugged mountain range located in southwestern Alaska. Spanning an area of over 12,000 square miles, the range is characterized by steep, glaciated peaks, deep valleys, and alpine tundra. The landscape is shaped by the region's subarctic climate, with long, harsh winters and cool, wet summers. Wildlife such as grizzly bears, caribou, and Dall sheep can be found throughout the range. Access is challenging, with limited infrastructure and few established trails, making the Ahklun Mountains a true wilderness destination.
