Mount Goode, pronounced like "good", is a prominent 106100NaN0 glaciated mountain summit located in the Chugach Mountains, in the U.S. state of Alaska. The peak is situated 600NaN0 east of Anchorage, 100NaN0 northwest of College Fjord, 3.350NaN0 west of Mount Grace, and 10.90NaN0 southwest of Mount Marcus Baker, on land managed by Chugach National Forest.
This mountain is called Skitnu Dghelaya, meaning Brush River Mountain, in the Denaʼina language.[4] The Mount Goode name was officially adopted March 5, 1924, by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to commemorate Richard Urquhart Goode (1858-1903), geographer for the United States Geological Survey, in charge of the Pacific Division, Topographic Branch, at the time when work in the Alaska area was first conducted.[5] The first ascent of the peak was made in April 1966 by John Vincent Hoeman and Helmut Tschaffert.[6] [7]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Goode is located in a subarctic climate zone with long, cold, snowy winters, and cool summers.[8] Winter temperatures can drop below −20 °C with wind chill factors below −30 °C. This climate supports the Knik Glacier which surrounds the mountain. The months May through June offer the most favorable weather for climbing.
