Mount Quincy Adams

Mount Quincy Adams is a prominent border peak in the Saint Elias Mountains' Fairweather Range, straddling Alaska and British Columbia. Its slopes extend into both Glacier Bay National Park and British Columbia's Tatshenshini-Alsek Park, placing it within major protected landscapes on each side of the international boundary. Known in Canada as the province's second highest peak, it is also called Boundary Peak 163 for its position on the United States-Canada border. Named for John Quincy Adams, sixth president of the United States, the mountain stands close to Mount Fairweather, and together the two summits create one of the most dramatic mountain groupings along this coastal section of the range.
