Mount Angayukaqsraq Details
The highest mountain in the park, Mount Angayukaqsraq is 4760 feet high. It appears similar to those peaks around it in the Baird Mountains, but still maintains its claim to fame as the high point. The Baird Mountains are one of the most western ranges that comprise the Brooks Range. Mount Angayukaqsraq (meaning "a younger old man", or a man old enough to be a provider but not yet an elder), tops out above rocky cliff faces and scree slopes, particularly treacherous on its south and northeast sides.
