Resurrection Peaks is a 4,727-foot (1,441 m) mountain ridge located in the Kenai Mountains, on the Kenai Peninsula, in the U.S. state of Alaska. The peaks are situated in Chugach National Forest, 3.3 mi (5 km) north of Mount Benson, 3.5 mi (6 km) south of Mount Ascension, and 5 mi (8 km) north of Seward, Alaska. These peaks, marked 4712' and 4665' on the USGS map, together with their ridges and glacier form a distinct group. The peaks overlook the mouth of Resurrection River into Resurrection Bay, and take their name from the bay named since 1792, and the river since 1898. Resurrection Peaks' name was officially adopted in 1969 by the United States Geological Survey.[3]
