About Grindle Hills

The Grindle Hills are a remote and rugged mountain range located in the heart of Alaska's interior. Stretching over 50 miles, the range is characterized by towering granite peaks, deep glacial valleys, and a harsh subarctic climate. The terrain varies from gently rolling alpine tundra to steep, technical rock and ice climbing routes. Dense boreal forests and pristine alpine lakes dot the landscape, providing habitat for a variety of wildlife including caribou, Dall sheep, and grizzly bears.
