Bashful Peak, Mountain summit in Chugach State Park, Alaska, US.

Bashful Peak is a mountain in Chugach State Park, Alaska, reaching 8,005 feet (2,440 m), the highest point in both the park and the Municipality of Anchorage. Its steep western face holds snow year-round and carries several small glaciers. The summit is approached via the southern ridge, with no trail on the mountain itself.

The peak received its name in 1958 from members of the Mountaineering Club of Alaska, chosen because it often hides behind surrounding peaks and clouds. This naming reflects the mountain's tendency to remain inconspicuous due to its location within the broader landscape.

The name was given in 1958 by Mountaineering Club of Alaska members because the summit is often hidden by other peaks, ridges or clouds. The mountain lies within Chugach State Park, and its year-round snow and small western glaciers feed the headwaters of the East Fork of the Eklutna River.

Access the peak through the Eklutna Lake trailhead, where you follow the East Fork of Eklutna River and then ascend via the southern ridge. Weather conditions change rapidly at elevation, so arrive prepared for wind, cold, and shifting visibility.

Bashful Peak carries snow year-round, and several small glaciers cling to its steep western face. The name, given in 1958 by the Mountaineering Club of Alaska, refers to how the summit is often hidden by other peaks, ridges or clouds. There is no trail on the mountain itself; climbers approach from the Eklutna Lake trailhead, up the East Fork of the Eklutna River, then over the start of Stivers Gully on Bold Peak and across a small valley to the southern ridge.
