    What a fabulous photo! When we were there clouds were almost completely obscuring the view of the peak, but it was still an amazing place to be. Now, though, I see what we were missing!

    Glad people have enjoyed the photo – thanks to the folks at Matador for showcasing it.

    Kathy: We were _super_ lucky with the weather – that sort of clear day is pretty darn rare. The very next day, for example, it was totally socked in and we never saw Denali.

      Happy to showcase you, Nic. That photo you link to in your comment is equally gorgeous.

    yowza… Denali is the most impressive mountain I’ve ever laid eyes on. It is so often blanketed in clouds, but if you get a clear day, well… this pretty much sums it up. Ah-mazing!
