Denali

Some of you may know it by it's old name, Mount McKinley, but here in Alaska, it's called Denali (Athabascan for The Great One).  Most morning, Rick, Xena & I go for a long walk, regardless of the weather.  What that weather allows, we walk down to the inlet (Cook Inlet), which is just a 5 minute walk from our home.

This morning, we were surprised by a pretty nice view of Denali.  This means that the sky was clear and cloud free for the 350 miles (give or take) between here and there.  I've decided to try and get a photo of the mountain from the same vantage point throughout the year.  It will make a nice montage when I get a whole bunch of them.

Here's the first photo.

Spectacular Alaska Scenery

Here's a quick post featuring the view this morning from the inlet where we walk Xena (the wonder Bouvier) every morning. It's not very often that it's clear enough to see Mt. McKinley(aka Denali, the Great One) from this 350 mile distance, but here she is in all her glory:
