About Candle Hills
The Candle Hills are a remote mountain range located in the interior region of Alaska. Characterized by rugged, glacier-capped peaks, steep-walled valleys, and alpine meadows, the Candle Hills offer a pristine and challenging wilderness experience. The range is part of the Alaskan Interior Highlands, a vast expanse of mountainous terrain that stretches across central Alaska. The landscape is dominated by ancient, weathered granite and metamorphic rock formations, shaped by glacial activity and tectonic forces over millions of years.
