Mount Elusive is an 11,465-foot (3,495 m) elevation glaciated summit located 36 mi (58 km) northwest of Valdez in the Chugach Mountains of the U.S. state of Alaska. Set on land managed by Chugach National Forest, this remote peak is situated 3 mi (5 km) northeast of Mount Edison, 3 mi (5 km) southwest of Mount Valhalla, and 4.8 mi (8 km) north of Mount Einstein, near the head Columbia Glacier. It is part of the Dora Keen Range, which is a 25-miles-long divide separating Harvard Glacier from Yale Glacier.[2] The mountain was so named in 1957 by Lawrence E. Nielsen because of the peak's "elusive character in trying to locate its position on the map from aerial photos," and later officially adopted by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names in 1965.[4] Nielsen was leader of the Chugach Mountains Expedition which was sponsored by the Arctic Institute of North America. The first ascent of this mountain was made June 22, 1957, by Nielsen and expedition party via the south ridge.[2] He described the most distinguishing feature of this snow-covered mountain as being a spectacular north–south knife-edge summit ridge.
