About Alatna Hills
The Alatna Hills are a remote and rugged mountain range located in the interior of Alaska. This isolated region features steep, glaciated peaks and deep valleys carved by glacial erosion. The terrain is predominantly alpine, with bare rock, scree, and permanent snowfields dominating the higher elevations. The hills are home to a variety of subarctic wildlife, including caribou, Dall sheep, and grizzly bears. Access to the Alatna Hills is challenging, with limited infrastructure and no maintained trails.
