Denali - The Great One

Also known as Mount McKinley. The highest peak in North America, Denali has a summit elevation of 20,320 feet above sea level. On a clear day, it is possible to see Denali from Anchorage-- more than 400 miles away.

We were extremely lucky to have some clear views of the mountain. Even when it clouded over a bit, it was stunning to see the peaks poking out of the clouds.

We were lucky to have some unbelievably gorgeous weather in the park.
