Mount Brooks, Mountain peak in Denali National Park, Alaska, US

Mount Brooks reaches an elevation of 11,890 feet and forms part of a ridge extending northeastward from the main Denali massif between Brooks and Traleika Glaciers.

The United States Board on Geographic Names officially designated Mount Brooks in 1947, naming it after Alfred Hulse Brooks, chief geologist for Alaska from 1903 to 1924.

The first ascent of Mount Brooks occurred on July 5, 1952, when mountaineers Thayer Scudder, Winslow Briggs, J. S. Humphreys, and David Bernays reached its summit.

The mountain experiences optimal climbing conditions during May and June, while winter temperatures can drop below negative 20 degrees Fahrenheit with severe wind chill factors.

The summit position between Brooks Glacier and Traleika Glacier creates a natural observation point overlooking the extensive Muldrow Glacier flowing northward.
