White Mountains (Alaska)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The White Mountains is a 115-km-long (70 mi) mountain range in the Yukon-Koyukuk Census Area of the U.S. state of Alaska. It lies between Beaver Creek and Preacher Creek, and was named by prospectors for its composition of white limestone. The range reaches a maximum elevation of 968 m (3176 ft). Some of the range is located in White Mountains National Recreation Area, a 1-million-acre (4,000 km2) of wilderness just 30 miles (48 km) north of Fairbanks. The White Mountains and Ray Mountains together constitute the Yukon-Tanana Uplands, an area of low mountain ranges and high ground in Interior Alaska.
