Sukakpak Mountain Area of Critical Environmental Concern One of the most visually stunning areas on BLM managed public lands along the Dalton Highway in northern Alaska is Sukakpak Mountain (MP 203). A massive wall of Skajit Limestone rising to 4,459 feet (1,338m) that glows in the afternoon sun, Sukakpak Mountain is an awe-inspiring sight. Peculiar ice-cored mounds known as palsas punctuate the ground at the mountain's base. "Sukakpak" is an Inupiat Eskimo word meaning "marten deadfall." The mountain resembles a carefully balanced log used to trap marten. Sukakpak Mountain was designated in 1990 as a BLM ACEC to protect extraordinary scenic and geologic formations.
