About Beaver Mountains

The Beaver Mountains are a remote and rugged mountain range located in the heart of interior Alaska. This heavily glaciated range features towering peaks, deep valleys, and numerous glacial lakes. The terrain is primarily alpine with bare rock, tundra, and sparse vegetation above the treeline. Glaciers and snowfields are abundant, creating a dramatic and otherworldly landscape.
