About Chilkat Range
The Chilkat Range is a rugged and remote mountain range located in southeastern Alaska. Situated near the Canadian border, this range is characterized by steep, glaciated peaks that rise dramatically from the surrounding coastal forests and fjords. The terrain is highly alpine, with numerous glaciers, icy cirques, and rocky ridges that offer challenges for experienced mountaineers. The Chilkat Range forms part of the larger Boundary Ranges, which extend along the Alaska-British Columbia border.
