About Canoe Hills

The Canoe Hills mountain range is a remote and rugged landscape in central Alaska. This range is characterized by steep, glaciated peaks and valleys carved by rivers and streams. The terrain is primarily alpine tundra, with rocky outcroppings and scattered stands of stunted boreal forest. Wildlife is abundant, including Dall sheep, caribou, and grizzly bears. Accessing the Canoe Hills requires traversing remote wilderness and careful planning due to the challenging terrain and unpredictable weather.
