Nature
Wolverine Peak is a 4,491-foot mountain in Alaska’s western Chugach Mountains, within Chugach State Park near Anchorage. Rising above the city, it is a distinctive part of the skyline and a popular hiking destination, with a five-mile trail to the summit. Members of the Mountaineering Club of Alaska gave it its present name in 1963 after finding wolverine tracks near the top, and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names officially adopted the name the next year. Its accessible urban-edge setting, broad summit views, and harsh subarctic climate make it both a prominent landmark and a well-known local mountain.
