Mount McGhan is a 4,730-foot peak in Alaska’s Kenai Mountains on the Kenai Peninsula, about 23 miles north of Seward, with runoff flowing into Crescent Lake and Kenai Lake in the Kenai River basin. Although modest by Alaska standards, it rises dramatically above the nearby landscape, climbing 3,275 feet above Crescent Lake in one mile and 4,300 feet above Kenai Lake in two miles. Named in 1988 for Bruce McGhan, who died in an industrial accident, the mountain reflects local recognition supported by his widow, Debra McGhan, and the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly. Its subpolar oceanic climate brings heavy precipitation, long snowy winters, and mild summers.
