McHugh Peak
McHugh Peak is a mountain summit located in the western Chugach Mountains, in Anchorage Municipality, in the U.S. state of Alaska. McHugh Peak is situated in Chugach State Park, southeast of downtown Anchorage, and southwest of O'Malley Peak. Reaching the top involves hiking on a ridge trail and scrambling the final summit tor. The hike to McHugh Peak is detailed in several popular guidebooks. This geographic feature's local name was reported in 1942 by the Army Map Service, and was officially adopted in 1969 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. The mountain's name is derived from McHugh Creek which drains the south slope of this peak, and the creek's name was first published in 1912 by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey. This mountain is called Q'isqa Dghelaya in the Denaʼina language, meaning "Banjo Snowshoe Mountain". "Q'isqa" are temporary snowshoes made of lashed brush.
