Cockedhat Mountain

Cockedhat Mountain is a 7,410-foot peak in Alaska’s central Brooks Range, within Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, about 27 air miles from Anaktuvuk Pass. Among the taller mountains in this part of the range, it is named for its unusual outline. Its summit rises at the meeting point of four long, steep ridges, creating a dramatic, jagged form with vast sheer walls. Large cirque glaciers fill bowls on the north, east, and west sides, and a small hanging glacier clings to the western face. Only the southern bowl lacks year-round snow and ice.
