History of Boreal Mountain

Named in 1924 by Marshall (1956, p. 12) who wrote, "Close at hand * * * was a precipitous pair of mountains, one on each side of the North Fork. I bestowed the name of 'Gates of the Arctic' on them, christening the east portal 'Boreal Mountain' and the west portal 'Frigid Crags.'"
