On The Way To Denali

Saw this cabin on the way, and can only imagine its view during the summer. For a couple hours, every frozen lake we saw had fog hovering over it.

This dog was trampling across the snow covered field and kept falling in (snow was about 2 feet deep)--like watching a dog play in the tide, wading when it goes out and paddling when it comes in. That's Denali in the background. The mountain is so huge, it generates its own weather. 

Denali is the highest mountain peak in North America. Though it doesn't even make the top 100 list in the world, it has an actual vertical rise of 18,000 feet (Mt. Everest, earth's highest mountain, gets a head start at about 17,000 feet above sea level and has an actual rise of only about 12,000 feet). So, it's a really tall mountain.
