Denali in Alaska 2024

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. It is the tallest mountain in the world from base-to-peak on land, measuring 18,000 ft.  With a topographic prominence of 20,194 feet  and a topographic isolation (the distance to the nearest peak of equal or greater height) of 4,621.1 miles.  Denali is the third most prominent and third-most isolated peak on Earth, after Mount Everest and Aconcagua. Located in the Alaska Range in the interior of the U.S. state of Alaska, Denali is the centerpiece of Denali National Park and Preserve.From Wikipedia.

It is said that only 30% of Denali Park visitors are fortunate enough to see the mountain which is usually obscured by clouds. Only 5% are able to see both peaks. We were obviously extremely fortunate with weather.
