Mount McKinley (Denali) from Talkeetna

    Newer Older

    (still in Alaska through tomorrow)

    Mount McKinley (Denali) rises out of the clouds as viewed approximately 60 miles away from Talkeetna, Alaska. Not necessarily the best picture, but we were just happy to spy this majestic mountain. Sure enough, 15 minutes later it was clouded over and we never did see the mountain again. I believe they guesstimate that only 30% of visitors to Alaska actually get to see the mountain.

    I am loading these shots up en masse as I gain internet access, whereas I would normally load them up more slowly and with the appropriate commentary.

      Gorgeous. I love the way McKinley towers over the rest of the landscape, almost masquerading as a giant cumulus cloud.
