Mt McKinley, North America’s tallest mountain rises to 20, 320 ft, and dominates the Alaska range with its prominent face and ridges that capture light in an everchanging fashion. These are some images I’ve gathered over the years.

Great to see these, Pat. There’s nothing but miles and miles of flat land where I am, so it’s good to get a mountain fix!

Hey Patrick
Great collection of a great mountain. Congrats.
I think Image # is my favorite, simply because I haven’t seen it before.
From Image #16/17, I suspect we’ve stepped in each other’s footprints. 🙂
Cheers

Patrick,
Indeed a fine collection of images of The Great One!
Many years ago I sat on a Denali Park hillside looking at Denali and to rest and to take in some nourishment after a long morning of climbing for Dall sheep photos. I was also waiting for better light on the mountain so I could create some images. Other photogs passing by asked me why I wanted images of the mountain, explaining how Ansel and other great photographers had already done it and there was “no money” in creating more images of Denali. Well, I chuckled and waved them off. More to this stuff -and to life – than just making money. I find looking at the mountain theraputic and never tire of such time spent. And wouldn’t you know it, some of those images appeared in many magazines, a couple of books, advertisements, and one music album! Go figure. Move over Ansel.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Jim
Hey Patrick – of course, I totally hosed that comment .. I meant to say Image #24 is my favorite.
Cheers

Hey folks, thanks for the comments, my message notification was malfunctioning so I just saw your comments on this rather old post. So a belated response:
@Penny, glad to pass on a mountain fix for you down there, are you coming back north?
@Carl, yes, there are probably a few other locations in the state in which we have shared the same footprint.
@Jim, I concur, there is a lot to be absorbed from a view of that mountain.
Patrick, visited Denali in September 2013 (from Australia) but the week or so we spent in Alaska, the big fella (McKinley) was covered in mist the whole time, so never had a shot.
Your images I have just stumbled on are a wonderful consolation prize.
Thank you
Glad to hear Denis, thanks.
