Nature
Amulet Peak is an 8,290-foot mountain in Alaska’s northern Chugach Mountains, in the Matanuska Valley near the Glenn Highway and west of Matanuska Glacier. A prominent valley landmark, it is also a climbing objective with established routes on the east ridge, south ridge, and especially challenging north face. The first recorded ascent was made in 1968 by John Vincent Hoeman, Grace Hoeman, and William Babcock via the south ridge. The peak lies in a subarctic climate shaped by moisture from the Gulf of Alaska, with heavy rain and snow, extreme cold, small unnamed glaciers and permanent snowfields, and runoff draining into Monument and Gravel Creeks.
