M'Ladies Peak, Castner Glacier Aug 2009

Description 

Although geologically part of the Alaska Range, the Delta Range is considered to be that subset of the Alaska Range which is East of the Delta River. The terrain the the Delta Range is generally lower altitude than the more westerly regions of the Alaska Range. Nonetheless, many challenging climbs at all grades exist in this area. The Delta Range receives far less tourism than the Denali region of the Alaska Range.


Getting There 

From Fairbanks: go to Delta Junction, then head South on the Richardson Highway (AK-4).

From Anchorage: AK-1 to Glenallen, then North on the Richardson Highway (AK-4).
