Neacola Mountains

The Neacola Mountains are the northernmost subrange of the Aleutian Range in the U.S. state of Alaska.The range is named for the Neacola River which bounds it to the north and drains the highest and most rugged peaks of the group.[3] They are bordered on the southeast by the Chigmit Mountains, another subrange of the Aleutian Range, on the northeast by the Tordrillo Mountains, and on the west and southwest by the lakes and lowlands of Lake Clark National Park and Preserve.[1][4] These mountains have not seen extensive exploration, due to their remoteness, typically poor weather, and lack of truly high peaks.Noted climber Fred Beckey visited the range in the early 1970s; in 1991, when he was "spiritual leader" of the expedition which made the first ascent of Mount Neacola; and again in 2004.
