Denali, The Great One


I just returned to Anchorage last night from a wonderful week in Denali National Park. Once again luck was with us and we got great views of the tallest mountain in North America, Denali.

The day this was taken started out overcast with sprinkles, but by afternoon the skies cleared beautifully to reveal this superb view of the awe-inspiring mountain.

It was a super group with friendly and excited people, and we all enjoyed our time together. Everyone got amazing images of an array of wildlife including grizzly bear, caribou, moose, a rare fox sighting, and of course breathtaking scenics. 

The tundra was turning to autumn shades of gold, yellow, and red, and the animals were in beautiful condition. As always it was hard to leave this incredible place.

TODAY'S QUOTE: " If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them something more than the miracles of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it."  --Lyndon B. Johnson
