Double Mountain

Double Mountain is a 5,899-foot summit in the Alaska Range within Denali National Park and Preserve, standing between the Sanctuary and Teklanika rivers in a landscape of broad valleys and steep relief. It rises prominently above the Teklanika River, gaining about 3,050 feet in 1.75 miles, and its slopes drain into both the Teklanika and Sanctuary rivers within the Tanana basin. Its descriptive name was already in use on a 1916 U.S. Geological Survey document before being officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names. In a tundra climate with long, bitter winters and short mild summers, the best time for climbing or viewing is usually May into June.
