Mount Gannett is a 9,629-foot (2,935 m) peak in the Chugach Mountains of eastern Alaska, United States, located 50 miles (80 km) east of the city of Anchorage. It was named by Lawrence Martin of the U.S. Geological Survey in 1911 for Henry Gannett.[3] One arm of the Knik Glacier flows from the ice fields of Mount Gannett's north and east slopes, and the Colony Glacier rises on the west and southwest slopes, flowing into Inner Lake George. In between, the Gannett Glacier flows down a narrow valley northwest of the summit to join the Knik Glacier. The mountain has an estimated topographic prominence of 4,300 feet (1,300 m).
