- Remote, loose rock and year-round snow; no trails.
At 8,005 feet, Bashful Peak is the highest peak in Chugach State Park and in the Municipality of Anchorage. It carries snow year-round and has small hanging glaciers on its west face. There are no trails; climbers usually start at the Eklutna Lake trailhead, travel up the East Fork of the Eklutna River and climb via Bold Peak's Stiver's Gully and Bashful's south ridge. Loose rock, remoteness and storms make it a serious climb. It was named in 1958 because it is often hidden by other peaks or clouds.
