Picture of the day - January 10, 2008

Mount McKinley

Photo courtesy of Alan W. Berry. Today's picture features a rare glimpse at the peak of Alaska's Mount McKinley, the highest mountain on the continent of North America. This beautiful photograph was taken by photographer Alan W. Berry, and here a few words from him about the image: "This is Alaska's Mt. McKinley (also known as Denali), the tallest mountain on the North American continent at 20,320 feet. The picture was taken on the George Parks Highway in the summer of 2007. McKinley is seldom seen because it creates it's own weather and is covered in clouds most of the time."   --Alan W. Berry The state of Alaska boasts some of the world's most amazing scenery, and some of the most awe-inspiring views of all can be found in Denali National Park. What a wonderful place to visit!     Visitor Comments... Name: Ron E. Trees Town: Spokane, WA Spectacular picture of Mt. McKinley!! Thanks for all of the great pictures.
