Nature
Mount Allen is a prominent 9,512-foot mountain in Alaska’s Wrangell Mountains within Wrangell–St. Elias National Park and Preserve. Rising steeply in a remote glaciated landscape north-northwest of Chisana, it towers about 6,400 feet above the Chisana River within five miles, and its runoff feeds tributaries in the Tanana River system. A subarctic climate of long, bitter winters and cool summers sustains glaciers around the peak and shapes the best season for climbing or viewing. The mountain honors explorer Henry Tureman Allen, who mapped the Copper River region in 1885, and in the Upper Tanana language it is called Ch 'ank än' Choh.
