Gurney Peak

Nature
Gurney Peak is a 7,192-foot spire-shaped mountain in the Kichatna Mountains, a rugged section of the Alaska Range within Denali National Park and Preserve. Standing southwest of Denali in a remote glaciated landscape, it is notable for its steeply rising form and for its importance to the surrounding icefields. Both the Caldwell Glacier and the Shadows Glacier begin at Gurney Peak. Within the park, it is one of the striking rock-and-ice summits that give the Kichatna Mountains their dramatic character.
