About Blackburn Hills
The Blackburn Hills are a rugged mountain range located in the heart of Alaska's interior. Stretching across a vast, remote expanse, the range is characterized by jagged, glaciated peaks, deep valleys, and an abundance of alpine lakes and glaciers. The terrain is predominantly rocky and steep, with numerous sheer cliffs and exposed ridgelines. The climate is subarctic, with long, cold winters and short, cool summers. Despite the challenging environment, the Blackburn Hills offer spectacular scenery and a true wilderness experience for outdoor enthusiasts.
