The Chigmit Mountains are a subrange of the Aleutian Range in the
Kenai Peninsula and Lake and Peninsula Boroughs of the U.S. State of
Alaska. They are located at the northeastern end of the Aleutians, on the
west side of Cook Inlet, roughly 120 miles (200 km) southwest of Anchorage.
The closest major towns to the range are Kenai and Homer, across Cook
Inlet on the west side of the Kenai Peninsula.
The Chigmits, along with most of the Aleutian Range, are volcanic,
and include two prominent stratovolcanoes, Redoubt Volcano (10,197 feet/3,108 m),
the high point of the Aleutian Range; and Iliamna Volcano (10,016 feet/3,052 m).
To the north, the Chigmits are bordered by the Tordrillo Mountains, and on the northwest, by the Neacola Mountains. Cook
Inlet marks the eastern boundary of the range, while on the west, the mountains fade out into the hills and lowlands of Lake
Clark National Park and Preserve. On the south and southwest, the Chigmits abut the continuation of the Aleutian Range into
the Alaska Peninsula.
