Glenora was a goldrush town of the 1898 Klondike era. It was the head of navigation on what was known as the "All Canada Route" The town has vanished leaving only a meadow at the end of the Telegraph Creek road, however in the last 30 to 40 years young white settlers moved into the area to homestead land that was of particularly good agricultural quality.
There was a brief period of growth followed by a 15 year time of community in Glenora. Many of the early settlers have left leaving a small tight-knit community of believers in the quality of life that this quiet, pristine place affords.

Telegraph Creek is a town 12 miles up river from Glenora and home to the Tahltan. The Tahltan people are a very progressive and successful group and have shown a keen ability to work together with other tribes, early settlers and later day settlers. They have been recognised Canada-wide for their work ethic and negotiating skills within the canadian mining community.
This is a prosperous little town with new infrastructure popping up all over. Telegraph Creek, in fact, was arguable the first place in North America to have public high-speed wireless internet, it being a Beta project for Lucent Technologies over 10 years ago, thanks in part to the forward thinking of the Tahltan Band administration.
The old town of Telegraph Creek is all but abandoned but still retains a quaint charm remenicent of the by gone days of gold rushes and the Trans-Siberia Telegraph line. After 1898 the Hudsons Bay Co. moved their operation to Telegraph Creek with more powerful paddlewheelers able to ply the mighty Stikine beyond Glenora. The old town is situated on hand laid rock terraces built up the steep sides of the Stikine River. Two miles up river from Telegraph Creek the river pours out of the bottom end of The Grand Canyon of the Stikine, probably the most treacherous water in Canada.
The road into Telegraph Creek and Glenora dips in and out of this canyon country many times offering spectacular scenery over it's last 50 miles.
The road is very well maintained both winter and summer and tho' it can be heart stopping at times, it's an adventure not to miss.
