Polar Bear Peak, Mountain summit in Chugach State Park, Alaska, US.

Polar Bear Peak is a 6,614-foot (2,016 m) mountain in the Chugach Mountains, within Chugach State Park, Alaska. It stands at the head of South Fork Eagle River, 5 miles (8 km) east-southeast of Eagle Lake and 22 miles (35 km) east-southeast of downtown Anchorage. Above about 1,000 feet the peak is mostly alpine terrain of exposed rock, sparse vegetation, lichens and year-round snowfields.

Members of the Mountaineering Club of Alaska named the peak in 1963 after spotting a snow formation on its north face that resembled a polar bear skin. This naming reflects the observations that early explorers made while investigating the area.

The peak attracts climbers from Anchorage and nearby communities who use it as a training ground throughout the year. For many local mountaineers, it represents an accessible goal for serious climbing pursuits.

The peak lies at the head of South Fork Eagle River, about 35 km ESE of downtown Anchorage and 8 km east of Eagle and Symphony Lakes. From the lakes, the west flank rises toward the summit; above roughly 300 m the terrain turns to exposed rock, lichens and year-round snowfields. Plan for alpine conditions and changeable weather.

The name comes from a snow patch on the north face that members of the Mountaineering Club of Alaska thought looked like a polar bear skin when they named the peak in 1963. Above roughly 1,000 feet the mountain turns to alpine terrain of exposed rock, sparse vegetation and year-round snowfields.
