Wolverine Peak is situated in Chugach State Park, 10 mi southeast of downtown Anchorage, and 2.6 mi northwest of O'Malley Peak. It is a prominent mountain on the Anchorage skyline. This geographic feature was so-named in 1963 by members of the Mountaineering Club of Alaska who found wolverine tracks in the snow near the summit.

A popular hike on a five-mile trail leads to the summit with views of Mount Williwaw, Denali, Mount Foraker, Cook Inlet, and Anchorage. ()
