Nature
Lynx Peak is a 6,536-foot mountain in Alaska’s Talkeetna Mountains, about 20 miles north of Palmer, known for its steep rise above nearby valleys and its position between several drainage systems. Water from its slopes feeds the Little Susitna and Kashwitna river systems, and the mountain is commonly approached by the Reed Lakes Trail. It is especially associated with the wreckage of a 1957 B-29 Superfortress crash on Bomber Glacier below the summit, where six of the ten people aboard were killed. In a subarctic climate with long snowy winters, the mountain supports a glacier on its north slope, though its name has never been officially adopted.
