Deer Mountain (Alaska)

Deer Mountain is a 3,001.97 ft mountain peak located in the Tongass National Forest in the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, Alaska, which dominates the skyline behind downtown Ketchikan. The Deer Mountain National Recreation Trail provides a strenuous hiking route to the summit, passing through temperate rainforests, muskeg and alpine meadows as it gains 2600 ft of elevation over 2.75 mi from the trailhead in Ketchikan to the peak.
