Mount Alice is located 6.2 mi (10 km) northeast of Seward, Alaska, from where it appears as the most prominent peak on the east skyline across Resurrection Bay.

[6] The first ascent of the peak was made in 1963 by John Vincent Hoeman, David Johnston, and D. Hilt.

The standard route is via the southwest face which entails steep snow and traditional class 5.0 rock climbing.

[8] Weather systems coming off the Gulf of Alaska are forced upwards by the Kenai Mountains (orographic lift), causing heavy precipitation in the form of rainfall and snowfall.

This climate supports a spruce and hemlock forest on the lower western slopes, and the massive Godwin Glacier on the eastern side of the mountain.
