The area is better known as The Copper Valley, but it is home to the Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. This preserve is the largest park in the United States covering 13.2 million acres. It is equal to six Yellowstone National Parks. The Wrangell Mountain Range, to the east of the park has nine of the twenty highest peaks on the continent. Mount St. Elais, the second highest peak in the US, stands at 18,008 feet.
