Chugach Mountains (ch  `găch), one of the Pacific coastal ranges, S Alaska, extending from the St. Elias Mts., on the Alaska-Yukon border, NW to the Manuska River. Mt. Marcus Baker, 13,176 ft (4,016 m), is the highest peak. Rugged, with forested lower slopes (the southern slope is a national forest) and glacier-covered summits, the Chugach are a barrier for movement inland from the coast. The Richardson Highway, a north-south road running from the coast to Fairbanks, Alaska, and the Copper River are the only corridors through the range. |

| This undated series of photos shows a group of college students getting some hands-on training as part of a mountaineering class in the southern Chugach Mountains in Alaska. The village has stood for a thousand years on a small strip of sediment that has collected at the point where the Chugach Mountains soar out of the sound. Then we'll go out on the city streets, past strip malls, fast-food chains, and the splendid Chugach Mountains to our local grocery store where we'll pick up everything we need. |
