If you are ever in Alaska, do NOT miss a chance to see this! more

Due to the fact that Mt. McKinley is so much higher than the surrounding mountains, it actually creates its own weather and is often shrouded in clouds. The park rangers in Denali never seemed to grow tired of reciting the statistic: only a third of all visitors to the park ever get to actually see the mountain. It would be... more
