Overview

The Alaska Coast Range is huge, so I made this page to organize all of the Juneau area peaks in one place. I'll define the Juneau Area to be approximately from the Taku Inlet up the coast to the the Gilkey Trench and across the icefield to the Canadian border, along with Douglas Island, Northern Admiralty Island, and the Southern Chilkat range.

Children refers to the set of objects that logically fall under a given object. For example, the Aconcagua mountain page is a child of the 'Aconcagua Group' and the 'Seven Summits.' The Aconcagua mountain itself has many routes, photos, and trip reports as children.
