Hatcher Pass is a mountain pass through the southwest part of the Talkeetna Mountains, Alaska. It is named after Robert Hatcher, a prospector and miner. The nearest cities are Palmer and Wasilla approximately 12 miles (19 km) to the south, and Willow approximately 26 mi (42 km) to the west. The communities are at an elevation of approximately 250 ft (76 m) in the Mat-Su valley.
Mount Hayes is the highest mountain in the eastern Alaska Range, in the U.S. state of Alaska. Despite not being a fourteener, it is one of the largest peaks in the United States in terms of rise above local terrain. For example, the Northeast Face rises 8,000 feet (2,440 m) in approximately 2 miles (3.2 km). This large vertical relief contributes to Mount Hayes being the 51st most topographically prominent peak in the world.
The Talkeetna Mountains are a mountain range in Alaska. The Matanuska and Susitna River valleys, with towns such as Trapper Creek, Talkeetna, Wasilla, Palmer, Sutton, and Chickaloon, roughly bound the Talkeetnas in the westerly parts of the range. Sovereign Mountain rises to 8,849 feet (2,697 m) in the remote and heavily glaciated central part of the range. The east side of the range fronts a broad, about 100 miles (160 km) wide, lake-studded lowland of forests and swamps, across which rises the gigantic Mount Wrangell volcanic edifice. Alaska Highway 4 runs northward through this lowland. Hundreds of miles to the west Alaska Highway 3 runs along the western side of the Talkeetna range, with the Alaska Range directly west. Alaska Highway 1, running along the southern front of the Talkeetna Mountains, lies mainly in a valley marking a tectonic divide between the Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks of the accretionary wedge, island-arc, and basement rocks in the Peninsular terrane, and the Chugach Mountains in the Chugach terrane to the south. The range stretches as much as a hundred miles north to south. Alaska Highway 8, seasonal and unpaved, passes over highlands rising to above 4,000 feet (1,200 m), north of the Talkeetnas.
Penny Royal Glacier is a hanging alpine glacier in the Talkeetna Mountains of Alaska.
Mount Johnson is an 8,400+ ft mountain summit located in the Alaska Range, in Denali National Park and Preserve, in Alaska, United States. It is situated on the west side of the Ruth Gorge, 15 miles (24 km) southeast of Denali and six miles (9.7 km) south-southwest of The Moose's Tooth. The nearest higher neighbor is Mount Wake, 0.69 miles (1.11 km) to the northwest.
Tokosha Mountains is a 6,148 ft (1,870 m) multi-peak massif located in the Alaska Range, in Denali National Park and Preserve, in Alaska, United States. It is situated between the toes of Ruth Glacier and Tokositna Glacier, 27 mi (43 km) south-southeast of Denali and 26 mi (42 km) northwest of Talkeetna. Despite its relatively low elevation, it is notable for its Teton-esque granite spires which can be seen from the George Parks Highway. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into the Tokositna River → Chulitna River → Susitna River. Topographic relief is significant as the highest summit, Grand Tokosha, rises 3,850 feet above the Ruth Glacier in one mile (1.6 km).
Rook Mountain is a 6,685-foot-elevation (2,038-meter) mountain summit in Alaska, United States.

Alabaster Peak is an 8,065-foot-elevation (2,458-meter) mountain summit located 35 miles (56 km) east of Palmer, in the northern Chugach Mountains of Alaska. This peak of the Matanuska Valley is set midway between Anchorage and Glennallen, and can be seen from the Glenn Highway. It is situated 15 miles (24 km) west of Matanuska Glacier and 1.8 miles (2.9 km) south of Awesome Peak. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into Coal, Monument, and Gravel creeks, which are tributaries of the Matanuska River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 3,065 feet along the west slope in one mile (1.6 km). The first ascent of the summit was made on July 4, 1970, by Robert Spurr, Bob Pelz, and Royce Purinton via the Spectrum Glacier and North Ridge. This mountain's toponym has not been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names, so it is only marked as "8065" on USGS maps.
Ice Cream Cone Mountain is an 8,675-foot-elevation (2,644-meter) mountain summit located 22 miles (35 km) east of Palmer, in the northern Chugach Mountains of Alaska. This peak is visible from the Glenn Highway near Mile 70 west of Kings Mountain. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's north slope drains into Carpenter Creek, a tributary of the Matanuska River, whereas the south slope drains into Metal Creek, a tributary of the Knik River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 5,200 feet above Metal Creek in 1.5 mile (2.4 km) and 5,675 feet above Carpenter Creek in 1.9 mile (3 km). The first ascent of the summit was made on July 3, 1967, by David P. Johnston, John Samuelson, and Hans Van der Laan via the Northeast Ridge. This mountain's local descriptive toponym has not been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names, so it is only marked as "8675" on USGS maps. Some climbers in Anchorage call this peak the "Sky Buster" which was the name applied by mountaineer Vin Hoeman.
