Tolsona Wilderness Campground, Glennallen, AK


 Stan . . .

The picture of the sign to the right is along side the Glenn Highway about 6-7 miles west of Glennallen, while the second picture is taken from the same spot looking east back toward Glennallen and the Wrangell Mountains.  The mountain tops are shrouded in clouds, but if you look close you will notice that the bright white areas within the clouds are actually the continuation of the mountains up into the clouds.  The enormity of this mountain range is quite impressive to say the least!!

The Wrangell Mountains are located within the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park which is the largest National Park in the entire United States.
Leslie, Robert & myself enjoying happy hour around the campfire at our campsites here at Tolsona Wilderness Campground (Connie was enjoying happy hour too....she was the one behind the camera taking this picture).
The view of our "backyard" as we sit around the campfire shown in the earlier picture.  This picture was taken just after  8:00 pm and the sun was still about 2-3 hours away from setting.

  1. Stan & Connie,

    It looks as if you're living the dream of a lifetime! Thanks for keeping such great records (like Robert and Leslie), so that someday when Karen and I get the chance to head North, we have an idea on what to see and where to go.

    Glad the berries came in handy! :-) If you have any left, I hear the Grizzlies will eat them out of your hand! :-O

    Have fun...

    -Gary-
