Description
Mt McKinley known to some as "The High One" or just "Denali" In this photo the North Peak is visible an occurrence not guaranteed. The mountain is so massive that it creates it's own weather system that oftentimes obscures it
to many who make it a must see on their Alaska visit. In fact there is only about a 33% chance that you are likely to see it. This photo was taken in the fall season about mid August while visiting Denali National Park.
The round peak is the South peak and is also the higher of the two, The North peak though is the more difficult and less travelled. The climbing season lasts about 90 days from sometime in April through July depending on weather conditions. Approximately 1000 people will try to summit and only a fraction of those will make it to the top.
Denali is one of the "Seven Summits" the highest mountains on seven continents and in mountaineering is considered a major accomplishment for those who dare!.
It was renamed Mount McKinley for then-presidential nominee William McKinley by prospector William Dickey during the 1896 Cook Inlet gold rush. Dickey named the peak because McKinley championed the gold standard rather than silver . Alaskans and climbers call the mountain Denali.

Fabulous image! The clouds, aside from generously parting for you, add an element of interest. Fortune favors those in the right place, at the right time, with camera in hand and at the ready. Very nicely done!

Stunning capture! My father-in-law lives in Alaska. He flew me around Denali to see these beautiful peaks. It's only from the air that one can gain this perspective on this stately mountain. I applaud you. This capture is a work of art! L/F
