About Horn Mountains

The Horn Mountains are a rugged, remote mountain range located in the heart of Alaska's interior. Stretching across the Yukon-Koyukuk region, this range is characterized by steep, craggy peaks, deep glacial valleys, and expansive alpine tundra. The terrain is generally rocky and challenging, with numerous glaciers, snowfields, and talus slopes. The climate is subarctic, with long, cold winters and short, mild summers. The range is home to a variety of wildlife, including caribou, Dall sheep, grizzly bears, and migratory birds.
