Nature
Mount Alice, a 5,318-foot peak in the Kenai Mountains northeast of Seward, dominates the eastern skyline across Resurrection Bay and rises about a vertical mile above the bay and Resurrection River within Chugach National Forest. Officially named in 1983, it honors Alice Lowell Scheffler, daughter of Franklin G. Lowell, whose family became the first homesteaders in the Seward area in 1883; nearby Mount Mary and Mount Eva also reflect the family’s presence. Known for steep terrain, the mountain’s first recorded ascent came in 1963, and its standard route combines steep snow and class 5.0 rock climbing. Heavy precipitation shapes its forests and the Godwin Glacier.
