Chugach State Park 120 Summits
Within the half million acres of Chugach State Park lie some 120 summits that share the common distinction of having 500 feet (or more) of vertical relief between themselves and the next higher summit. Due to this 500 foot prominence, these peaks are generally accepted as true summits. Many familiar with the area will note that some very well-known mountains, such as Flattop Mountain and O’Malley Peak, are not included. This does not mean that they are not worthy destinations. It just means they lack 500 feet of prominence. Flattop Mountain, for example, has less than 300 feet of prominence. It should be noted that some of the peaks listed fall slightly short of the 500-foot requirement. These are included because the list is generated from the USGS topographic maps having 100-foot contour intervals. Due to the accuracy of the maps and the detail with which they can be read, peaks close to the 500-foot mark are included to list all peaks with a possibility of meeting the criterion. It can be said that peakbagging is more art than science.
