Mount Dan Beard

Mount Dan Beard is a 10,082-foot peak in the Alaska Range within Denali National Park and Preserve, southeast of Denali above the Don Sheldon Amphitheater of the Ruth Glacier. Its setting places it in one of interior Alaska’s most dramatic glaciated landscapes. Herschel Clifford Parker and Belmore Browne named the mountain in 1910 for Daniel Carter Beard, the illustrator known as Dan Beard, who founded the scouting organization Sons of Daniel Boone. The peak remains a recognized named feature of the Alaska Range within the park and preserve.
