The Chugach Mountains of southern Alaska are the northernmost of the several mountain ranges that make up the Pacific Coast Ranges of the western edge of North America. The range is about 250 miles (402 km) long and 60 miles (97 km) wide and extends from the Knik and Turnagain Arms of the Cook Inlet on the west to Bering Glacier Tana Glacier and the Tana River on the east. It is bounded on the north by the Matanuska Copper and Chitina rivers.
