Summary
| Description |
Sukakpak Mountain Area of Critical Environmental Concern One of the most visually stunning areas on #BLM managed public lands along the Dalton Highway in northern Alaska is Sukakpak Mountain (MP 203). A massive wall of Skajit Limestone rising to 4,459 feet (1,338m) that glows in the afternoon sun, Sukakpak Mountain is an awe-inspiring sight. Peculiar ice-cored mounds known as palsas punctuate the ground at the mountain's base. "Sukakpak" is an Inupiat Eskimo word meaning "marten deadfall." The mountain resembles a carefully balanced log used to trap marten. Sukakpak Mountain was designated in 1990 as a #BLM ACEC to protect extraordinary scenic and geologic formations.
