'''Mount Hubbard''' is one of the major [[mountain]]s of the [[Saint Elias Mountains|Saint Elias Range]]. It is located on the [[Alaska]]/[[Yukon]] border; the [[Canadians|Canadian]] side is within [[Kluane National Park and Reserve]], and the [[United States|American]] side is part of [[Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve|Wrangell–St. Elias National Park]]. The mountain was named in 1890 by [[United States Geological Survey|U.S. Geological Survey]] geologist [[Israel Russell]] after [[Gardiner Greene Hubbard]], first president of the [[National Geographic Society]], which had co-sponsored Russell's expedition.<ref name="gnis"/>

Hubbard is the highest point of a large massif with three named summits; the other two are [[Mount Alverstone]] and [[Mount Kennedy]]. Alverstone and Hubbard form a corner of the [[Canada–United States border]]: the border extends roughly south from these peaks toward the [[Alaska panhandle]], and roughly west toward [[Mount Saint Elias]], approximately {{convert|100|km|mi|0|abbr=on}} away. The [[Hubbard Glacier]] separates Mount Hubbard from [[Mount Vancouver]] to the west, while the Lowell Glacier lies to the east of the peak.

Mount Hubbard is the eighth-highest peak in the United States, and the twelfth-highest peak in Canada{{ref|prom}}. It is also notable for its large rise above local terrain. For example, its west face rises {{convert|7500|ft|m|abbr=off|sp=us}} above the Alverstone Glacier in less than {{convert|2|mi|km|abbr=off|sp=us}}, and the peak rises {{convert|11000|ft|m|-1}} above the Hubbard Glacier to the southwest in only {{convert|7|mi|km|1|abbr=on}}. Mount Hubbard is just over {{convert|20|mi|km|0|abbr=on}} from tidewater at [[Disenchantment Bay]]. However, despite its precipitous drops to the west, the eastern side provides a non-technical (though long) route to the summit.

# {{note|prom}} Both of these use a [[topographic prominence|prominence]] cutoff of 300 metres; different cutoffs are often used, see e.g. the [[List of United States fourteeners]].
