Denali National Park

Denali National Park is the oldest national park in Alaska, and by far, the most popular. Home to ‘The Great One’, Mt Denali, it’s also home to some superb backpacking, packrafting, hiking, and photography experiences. In winter, it’s a wonderful place for ski and snowshoe trips.

Hey Folks, So, I’m back to the ‘photos from the past’ section. I’ll post a few more from my recent stay in the park, but wanted to post this, a favorite of mine, from Denali National Park a few years. This was probably one of the greatest days I ever had photographing. I hiked my […]

Grizzly bears on caribou carcass, Denali National Park, Alaska

Hey Folks, So here’s the reason why the bus that I thought would take me to the park entrance (see this post).

Denali Summit, Denali National Park, Alaska

hey Folks OK OK OK .. I’ll quit posting Denali, or Mt. McKinley, photos in a little while! I’m just glad I finally got some!  This one was kind of unusual for me. I do like this kind of abstract mountain peak photo, but normally I don’t shoot photos like this when the light is really […]

Denali, sunrise, Denali National Park, Alaska

Hey Folks A little with my Denali series. This one I’ve waited for a long time now, and though the reflection wasn’t perfect, it was WAY closer than anything I’ve come close to so far with Denali. Like I said in an earlier post, I’ve camped at this location many, many nights, and rarely even […]

Backpacker and Mt. Denali, Denali National Park, Alaska

Hey Folks I thought I’d continue on my little slideshow of Denali photos. I got to shoot the mountain more this summer, in one short week, than in all of my previous sojourns into the park. Call it good luck, or call it persistence, or call if what you will, I had a great time […]
