Joshua Green Peak is a 7,135-foot (2,175 meter) mountain summit located at the western edge of the Saint Elias Mountains, in the U.S. state of Alaska. The peak is situated in Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve at the head of Dan Creek, 18 mi (29 km) east-southeast of McCarthy, and 4 mi (6 km) east-northeast of Williams Peak. The peak is named after Joshua Green (1869-1975), a Seattle businessman who through his financial backing of mining ventures was instrumental in mineral development in the Dan Creek area.[1] The peak's name was officially adopted in 1975 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into Dan Creek which is a tributary of the Nizina River, which in turn is part of the Copper River drainage basin.
