Denali

One out of three days you get to see the mountain, says the statistics...we didn't see it. We were in Denali National Park for two days with good weather for late August, early September but Denali, "the big one" in native Athabaskan language, remained cloud covered.

A family from Boston with 12 year-old triplets! yes, two boys and a girl! were awed by Denali for 2 days in a row a week before us from Wonder lake in Kantishna. I guess it's the luck of the draw! Plus it gives everyone a very, very good excuse to come back to Alaska.

Great pictures at Wikipedia...
