5:15 PM LOCAL TIMEThe Saint Elias Mountains form one of North America's wildest and most dramatic high-country regions, stretching across southeastern Alaska and western Yukon. Dominated by towering peaks like Mount Logan (5959 m), the range is characterized by extensive glacial systems, deep fjords, and remote alpine basins. The region is part of large protected areas—Kluane National Park, Wrangell–St. Elias National Park, and Alaska Range—which preserve untamed wilderness and high-value wildlife habitat. Visitors come for mountaineering, long-distance trekking, and to witness the scale of northwestern North America's high glacier-carved landscapes—approach typically requires backcountry skills and multi-day planning.
