Nature
Fang Mountain is a 6,736-foot peak in the Alaska Range within Denali National Park and Preserve, near the headwaters of the Savage River and not far from park headquarters and Cantwell. Its local descriptive name was published by the United States Geological Survey in 1952. The mountain is rarely climbed because reaching it requires a long approach over dangerously loose, rotten rock, making it an unattractive objective. It stands in a subarctic climate with long, intensely cold, snowy winters and mild summers. Water from its slopes drains to the Savage River, Riley Creek, and the Sanctuary River within the Tanana River basin.
