About Hockley Hills

The Hockley Hills are a rugged mountain range located in southern Alaska, characterized by steep, glaciated peaks and deep valleys carved by ancient ice flows. The range is part of the Chugach Mountains, a larger cordillera that extends across south-central Alaska. Geologically, the Hockley Hills are composed primarily of metamorphic and igneous rock, with many exposed granite formations and rocky outcroppings. The terrain is challenging, with abundant talus, scree, and steep, technical sections, making the range best suited for experienced outdoor enthusiasts.
