The Boundary Ranges, also known the Alaska Boundary Range, are the largest and most northerly subrange of the Coast Range Mountains. They begin at the Nass River, near the southern end of the Alaska Panhandle in the Canadian province of British Columbia and run to the Kelsall River, near the Chilkoot Pass.
The Boundary Ranges include several large icefields, including the Juneau Icefield, between the Alaskan city of the same name and Atlin Lake in B.C.; and the Stikine Icecap, which lies between the lower Stikine River and the Whiting River.
Some of the highest mountains in the Boundary Ranges are: Mount Ratz, 10,138 ft; Chutine Peak, 9,547 feet; and Devils Thumb, 9,075 feet, all in the Stikine Icecap region.
In the Junear Icefield is Devils Paw, 8,507 feet.
Despite the height of Mount Ratz and its neighbours, most of the Boundary Ranges are considerably lower than the Pacific Ranges of the southern Coast Mountains.
