Pyramid Mountain

Pyramid Mountain is a 5,519-foot summit in Alaska’s interior Alaska Range near Denali National Park headquarters and Mount Fellows. Its runoff reaches tributaries of the Nenana River within the broader Tanana River drainage basin. Although modest by Alaska Range standards, it is notable for steep local relief, rising more than 3,000 feet above Moose Creek in only 1.3 miles. Its name reflects its shape, was reported by the U.S. Geological Survey in 1950, and was later officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names. The mountain lies in a subarctic climate with long, frigid, snowy winters, mild summers, and the best viewing conditions usually in May and June.
