Situated between the Gulf of Alaska and the Saint Elias Mountains, this area features dramatic coastal plains backed by massive glaciers and icefields. The Yakutat Forelands provide some of the most accessible flat terrain in Southeast Alaska.
The relatively flat coastal plains allow for more extensive agricultural operations than typical in Southeast Alaska, with focus on hay production and small grains. Potato cultivation and market gardening take advantage of the long summer daylight hours, though the growing season remains short.
