Highly unusual to be able to have a clear view of Mt Denali... we are on our travel day from Denali to Anchorage and drive the Chulitna River along the George Parks Highway, over Broad Pass. Denali (also known as Mount McKinley, its former official name) is the highest mountain peak in North America, with a summit elevation of 20,310 feet above sea level. Its one of the youngest peaks and has the most elevation above its base terrain even more than Everest.
