Chigmit Mountains

The Chigmit Mountains are a remote and rugged mountain range located in southwestern Alaska. This isolated range lies within the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve, spanning a broad area between the Cook Inlet and Bristol Bay. The terrain is characterized by steep, glaciated peaks, deep valleys, and numerous glacial lakes and rivers. Dramatic vertical relief, with many summits over 6,000 feet, creates a truly alpine environment. The Chigmits experience a cool, maritime climate with heavy snowfall in the winter months.
