McGinnis Mountain, also known as Mount McGinnis, is a 4,232-foot (1,290 m) mountain summit located in the Boundary Ranges, in the U.S. state of Alaska. The peak is situated near the toe of the Mendenhall Glacier, within Tongass National Forest, 11 mi (18 km) north-northwest of Juneau, Alaska, and 6 mi (10 km) north of Juneau International Airport. Although modest in elevation, relief is significant since the mountain rises up from sea level at Auke Bay in less than five miles. McGinnis Mountain is often seen and photographed with Stroller White Mountain, a 5,118-foot (1,560 m) summit 1.6 mi (3 km) to the north because they are together in the background behind Mendenhall Lake, a popular tourist and recreation area.
