Description

Taken in early April, this scene captures one of Denali’s rarest gifts—an entirely unobstructed view of the full peak. Deep winter snow still covered the valley floor while the sky remained a crisp, vibrant blue. The surrounding mountains rose sharply above the forested foothills, but even they seemed small beside Denali itself, appearing almost ghostlike in the distance. It was a clear, quiet morning that showcased the immense scale and beauty of this remarkable landscape.
