WILD AND AUTHENTIC

Glennallen is known for its outstanding scenery, great fishing and of course, its friendly people. As the major population center of the Copper River Basin, Glennallen is a great basecamp for exploring the area. This is the gateway to Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, the largest National Park in the United States.

There are regular flightseeing tours leaving Glennallen that will take you over the rugged and glaciated terrain and leave you in awe of the vastness of the park. Alternatively, you can drive the 126 miles into McCarthy or take a private transport from Glennallen during the summer. Keep in mind that the last 60 miles of the McCarthy Road can be very rough and will take at least 2 hours.
