No problem. I bet you're right, though. Makes sense. I love all of the old names of mountains, rivers, valleys, towns, etc... And you're so good at explaining it! I know you’re busy. No problem.

I presume 'Hanagita' is an Athabascan word, though I'm unsure. As for why some people call it 'Steamboat Hills'? Lots of places have their own little local names, I suppose, particularly in Alaska. 'Steamboat' may have been a term that came about because of the old steamboats that used to run up the Chitina and Copper Rivers, years ago - and these hills run right alongside the Chitina River. That's just a guess. The maps all show 'Hanagita'. Cheers Carl Hey Beth

Why do some people call it Steamboat Springs? And what does Hanagita Hills mean? That’s quite a cool view. Why do some people call it Steamboat Springs? And what does Hanagita Hills mean?
