The Kahiltna Peaks are two prominent summits on a western spur of Denali in the central Alaska Range, in Denali National Park. The 13,440-foot (4,100 m) east peak and the 12,835-foot (3,912 m) west peak are separated from the main Denali massif by Kahiltna Notch, between the northeast and east forks of Kahiltna Glacier.[1][2][3]
