Mt. McKinley, Denali National Park Alaska picture - On my camera's digital viewing screen I composed a picture of this green valley and a craggy mountain in Denali National Park. I heard someone say they thought they could see Mt. McKinley, North America's highest mountain, looming in the distance. But all I saw in the sky was what seemed to be a pile of soft white clouds. I took the picture anyway, and when I viewed it later on my computer screen, I was stunned by what I saw. What I had once thought were just white clouds was actually an immense dome of snow floating in the sky, the enormous snowy summit of 20,000 foot Mt. McKinley, well over fifty miles away.
