Summit

Tucked into Broad Pass in the Alaska Range, Summit is a place whose character is shaped by exposed upland terrain, where broad valleys meet alpine slopes and weather can change quickly. The Parks Highway, Alaska’s principal road connection between Anchorage and Fairbanks, follows this natural passage through the range, while the Alaska Railroad also crosses the corridor. Far from the coastal fjords, the setting reflects Alaska’s vast interior: long winters, open ground and considerable distances between communities. Summit is a useful marker on journeys through the Denali area and a reminder of how major transport routes follow the range’s lower passes.
