Kenai Mountains

Encyclopedia : K : KE : KEN : Kenai Mountains

The Kenai Mountains are a mountain range in the U.S. state of Alaska. They extend 192 km (120 mi) northeast from the southern end of the Kenai Peninsula to the Chugach Mountains.

The name was published by Grewingk in 1849, who obtained his information from I. G. Wosnesenski's account of a voyage to the area in 1842. The Kenai Indian name for the mountains is given as Truuli.
