Princess Peak is a 6,585 ft (2,010 m) glaciated mountain summit located in the Boundary Ranges of the Coast Mountains, in the U.S. state of Alaska.[3] Emperor Peak is situated in the Taku Range of the Juneau Icefield, 18 mi (29 km) north of Juneau, and 1.6 mi (3 km) south of Emperor Peak, on land managed by Tongass National Forest. The Taku Range is a north–south trending ridge on the edge of the Taku Glacier. This mountain was named in 1964 by members of the Juneau Icefield Research Project, and officially adopted in 1965 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names.[3]
