Coast Mountains

The Coast Mountains are a vast mountain range stretching along the western coast of Alaska, from the Aleutian Islands in the south to the Arctic Ocean in the north. This rugged, glaciated range is characterized by steep, jagged peaks, deep valleys, and abundant glaciers. The terrain is primarily alpine, with rocky outcrops, snowfields, and steep, technical climbing routes. The climate is cool and wet, with heavy snowfall in the winter months.
