Denali

North America's highest mountain, seen from the cockpit of a commercial airplane enroute between Anchorage and Fairbanks. Normally, the shortest route does not come as close to the mountain as shown in these pictures, but during the summer months, and when the weather is good enough, the commercial airlines that fly into Fairbanks often take a 5 minute detour and fly closer to the mountain.

Approaching the mountain from the Northeast, Wonder Lake is outside the picture to the right. Muldrow Glacier is coming towards the observer in the center of the picture.

View from the North, looking straight at Wickersham Wall. The River that can be seen in the far distance on the left side of the picture is the Susitna.
