About Curtis Hills

The Curtis Hills are a remote and rugged mountain range located in the far northern reaches of Alaska. Situated along the Arctic Circle, this range is characterized by towering peaks, deep glacial valleys, and a harsh subarctic climate. The terrain is predominantly alpine, with steep, rocky slopes and extensive glacial coverage. Permafrost and tundra vegetation dominate the lower elevations, transitioning to barren rock and snow-capped summits at higher altitudes. Wildlife in the region includes caribou, Dall sheep, grizzly bears, and a variety of bird species adapted to the extreme conditions.
