Nature
Mount Mather is a 12,096-foot mountain in Alaska’s Alaska Range within Denali National Park and Preserve. Northeast of Denali, it overlooks Brooks Glacier and is itself mantled with glaciers. The peak was named in 1947 for Stephen Mather, director of the National Park Service. Its subarctic setting brings long, cold, snowy winters and mild summers, with temperatures dropping below −20 °C and wind chill driving conditions below −30 °C. Water from the mountain drains into the Tanana River basin, and the most favorable time for climbing or viewing is generally May to June.
