Eagle Peak, Mountain summit in Chugach State Park, Alaska, United States.

Eagle Peak is a summit in Chugach State Park that rises to approximately 7,000 feet. The peak overlooks Eagle River Valley and reveals views of glaciers and alpine lakes when you reach higher elevations.

Eagle Peak takes its name from the Eagle River, which drains the valley below its summit. The peak stands at the head of South Fork Eagle River Valley and is the highest point on a ridgeline that also includes Flute Peak and Hurdygurdy Mountain. It lies within Chugach State Park in Anchorage Municipality, and on clear days it can be seen from Anchorage.

Eagle Peak takes its name from the Eagle River, which drains the valley below it. The peak stands at the head of South Fork Eagle River Valley, and on clear days it can be seen from Anchorage. Ptarmigan, Dall sheep and mountain goats may be seen on its slopes, and hawks or eagles overhead.

The peak sits at the head of South Fork Eagle River Valley, east of downtown Anchorage, and is visible from the city on clear days. From a base of about 700 feet on the eastern side, the summit is reached in little more than a mile and a half, so the climb is steep. Above roughly 1,000 feet the route crosses alpine ground with scant vegetation, loose rock and year-round snowfields.

During summer solstice, the peak experiences continuous daylight, allowing visitors to explore and photograph the surrounding glaciers in natural light. This extended daylight makes visiting in early summer a special experience for many hikers.
