Byron Peak is a 4,590 feet (1,399 m ) mountain in the U.S. state of Alaska , located in Chugach National Forest .
Location [ edit ]
Byron Peak is located in the Chugach National Forest at the head of a short, steep-walled valley, and rises above Portage Lake .

Due to relative ease of access and proximity to the major population centers of Alaska, Byron Peak and the surrounding area is a popular destination for mountain climbers, hikers, and, occasionally, skiers. The Byron Glacier Trail is a short and easy walk to the base of Byron Peak, and offers visitors panoramic views of steep glaciated mountains and Portage Lake.[1]
