Serendipity Saturday: Denali at Sunrise

Denali National Park, Alaska (click image to view larger)
For months prior to, and then all during my trip to Alaska, I heeded the warning I had been given about calling this mountain Denali instead of Mount McKinley. The story goes that, if you don’t call it by the Alaska Native name, you wont see it because of clouds. They also say the mountain makes its own weather and as you can see, the one morning I visited The Great One, there was not a cloud in the sky on this cold September morning. Those who know me well know that I am not the superstitious type, but, was the mountain listening? Only the mountain knows for sure . . .
Beautiful mountain…any way you call it
Wow! beautiful mountain photo, Kevin! I’ve never been to Alaska, but heard the colors there are very vibrant.
Thanks Kerri & Cindy! The colors there in Fall – even though early September, the seasons are on a slightly different cycle that far north – are quite spectacular!
I always think of you when I hear people say “Mt. McKinley.”
Awesome picture. Entire picture blog site is very beautiful. All the sunshine on snow covered mountain and the gracious story behind getting to see the Great One is so cool. Like it. Thumbs up to you. Thanks for sharing such a rare vision.
