The Takhinsha Mountains are a mountain range in Haines Borough and the Hoonah-Angoon Census Area in the U.S. state of Alaska, in the southeastern part of the state. They extend west-northwest from the northern end of the Chilkat Range to the head of Riggs Glacier, southwest of Skagway.
"Takhinsha" is a Tlingit name reported by E. C. Robertson of the U.S. Geological Survey and published in 1952.
The mountains include Mount Tlingit Ankawoo (highest point of range), Mt. Dech (third-highest), and Mt. Krause (fifth-highest), named for geographer Aurel Krause and located 16 miles west-southwest of Haines.[1] [2]
