The Neacola Mountains form a mountain range of the Aleutian Range in southwest Alaska , about 160 km west-southwest of Anchorage .
location
They rise west of the Chigmit Mountains and south of the Tordrillo Mountains and the western Alaska range . With a longitudinal extension of 200 km in a south-west-northeast direction and a maximum width of 50 km, they cover an area of around 8,000 km².
The north-eastern part of the mountain range is glaciated and reaches a height of 2873 m in Mount Neacola . To the east, the mountains are separated from the Chigmit Mountains further east by Lake Clark , Tlikakila River , Blockade Lake and Blockade Glacier . The Chakachamna Lake , the Neacola River and the Telaquana River form the boundary to the western Alaska range and the Tordrillo Mountains. The 945 m high Telaquana Pass thus forms the transition to the western Alaska range, the 328 m high Lake Clark Pass the transition to the Chigmit Mountains. On the western flank of the mountain range are several lakes of glacial origin: Telaquana Lake , Turquoise Lake and Twin Lakes .
The Lake Clark National Park extends over part of the Neacola Mountains.
