Mount Susitna, Mountain summit near Anchorage, United States
Mount Susitna rises 4,396 feet above sea level on the western bank of the lower Susitna River, 33 miles northwest of Anchorage.
The mountain's formation dates back to late Pliocene glaciations, between 2 and 6 million years ago, shaping its current streamlined structure.
The Dena'ina people named this mountain Dghelishla, meaning Little Mountain, while the English name comes from the Susitna River meaning Sandy River.
Visitors can observe Mount Susitna from Elderberry Park and the Tony Knowles Coastal Trail, which provide clear views across the Knik Arm inlet.
The mountain's silhouette forms the shape of a reclining woman, leading to geological studies identifying it as a roche moutonnée glacial formation.
