About Avingyak Hills
The Avingyak Hills are a modest mountain range located in the heart of Alaska's interior. Characterized by rounded, tundra-covered peaks, the range spans a relatively low elevation compared to its more famous Alaskan neighbors. Steep-sided valleys and rocky outcrops dot the landscape, created by glacial erosion over thousands of years. Despite its modest stature, the Avingyak Hills offer superb wilderness opportunities for hikers, backpackers, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking a taste of remote Alaskan backcountry.
