Iconic Peaks of Denali

This collection highlights the geological giants of the central Alaska Range within Denali National Park. Dominated by the 20,310-foot Denali, the list includes Mount Foraker and Mount Hunter, the second and third highest peaks in the range. These summits are characterized by massive vertical relief and dramatic granite monoliths, such as The Moose's Tooth and Mount Dickey, which rise thousands of feet above the Ruth Glacier. The region features some of the most challenging technical alpine climbing routes in North America.
