Two early leaders in the exploration of the Copper River region were Captain Edwin F. Glenn and Lt. Henry T. Allen. Their last names were combined to form the name Glennallen, a town of about 1,000 people. Allen was a descendant of Reuben Sanford, and named the highest of the three major volcanoes in the extreme western Wrangell Mountains, Mount Sanford, after his ancestor.
Glennallen lies near the western boundary of the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve—the largest national park in the United States. Looking east, you see four prominent peaks of the Wrangells: Mount Sanford, Mount Drum, Mount Wrangell and Mount Blackburn.
Tune into radio station KCAM at 790 on your dial. They broadcast area weather and road conditions, emergency messages, and the always interesting "Caribou Clatters," which are personal messages for people with no other means of communication. The Greater Copper Valley Visitor's Information Center is located at the junction of the Richardson and Glenn highways.
