11 Tallest Mountains in North America

7. Mount Lucania, 17,257 feet

We’re back to Canada for another jagged Yukon peak, named again by bono Italian Prince Luigi Amedeo, this time for a British ship. Lucania and Mount Steele are actually connected, but their peaks are independent and offer different challenges to climbers.

6. Mount Foraker, 17,400 feet

Mount Foraker is found in Alaska’s Denali National Park, also home to Denali. Mount Foraker’s original Russian name means “Big Mountain,” though Denali is higher! And though Denali has been renamed from its original Mount McKinley, Mount Foraker is still named for a politician from Ohio — U.S. Senator Joseph B. Foraker.
