Denali National Park


The ride from Fairbanks to Denali was pretty much uneventful. When we got there there was the main road into Denali which was about 15 miles long. At the end of the 15 miles there was a bus that could take you further into the park (for a fee). We opted not to take the bus.


When we got to the Mt. McKinley viewing area I was taking a bunch of pictures thinking I was taking pics of Mt. McKinley (see above). Finally someone said "What are you taking pictures of?" and I said "Mt. McKinley". Then they said "That's not Mt. McKinley, THAT's Mt. McKinley". The mountain was so big and so high that I did not even see it. It was shrouded in cloud and I actually mistook it for clouds when I first looked at it. I finally got out my 500mm lens and took the pics below.
