Mount Bear

Mount Bear is a high, glaciated peak in the Saint Elias Mountains of Alaska.

It lies within Wrangell-Saint Elias National Park, about 4 miles (6.4 km) west of the Yukon border.

Its principal claim to fame is that it is a fourteener, and in fact one of the highest 20 peaks in the United States.

However it is a large peak even in relative terms: for example, the drop from the summit to the Barnard Glacier is 8,000 ft (2,440 m) in less than 5 miles (8 km), and 10,000 ft (3,050 m) in less than 12 miles (19.3 km).
