Boggs Peak is a 4,518-foot (1,377 m) mountain summit located in the Chugach Mountains, in Anchorage Municipality in the U.S. state of Alaska. The peak is situated in Chugach National Forest, 4 mi (6 km) north of Portage Lake, 6 mi (10 km) northwest of Whittier, Alaska, and 1.24 mi (2 km) northeast of Begich Peak, which is its nearest higher peak. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of Portage Creek and Twentymile River before emptying into Turnagain Arm. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises approximately 4,200 feet (1,280 m) above Bear Valley in 1.15 miles (1.85 km).
