Barrier Range

The Barrier Range is a rugged, remote mountain range located in southern Alaska. Situated in the heart of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, this range is characterized by steep, glaciated peaks, deeply carved valleys, and extensive alpine terrain. The landscape is dominated by large glaciers that flow down from the high summits, carving dramatic cirques and U-shaped valleys. The terrain is challenging, with significant elevation gains and technical alpine routes on the major peaks.
