Mount Kudlich is an 11,301-foot summit in the Alaska Range within Denali National Park and Preserve, rising prominently above the Ruth Glacier landscape near the Don Sheldon Amphitheater in the Ruth Gorge area. Situated close to Denali, Mount Huntington, and Mount Dan Beard, it stands among a dense grouping of major peaks. The mountain was possibly named by explorer Belmore Browne for Herman C. Kudlich, a New York City magistrate and member of the American Museum of Natural History. Its historical interest is tied to Browne's role in Frederick Cook's 1906 Denali expedition, whose claimed first ascent was later disproved.
