Nature
Deer Mountain, a 3,001.97-foot peak in Ketchikan, Alaska, rises within the Tongass National Forest and forms the prominent backdrop behind downtown Ketchikan. It is especially known for the Deer Mountain National Recreation Trail, a strenuous route that leads from town to the summit. Over 2.75 miles, the trail gains about 2,600 feet in elevation and passes through temperate rainforest, muskeg, and alpine meadows before reaching the peak.
