One of the most inhospitable places on earth...The beauty of some Allien planet ,here on earth.The higher its elevation,the more the raw dry,colder it gets.many hearty souls try to climb its peaks.many perish...Looking at all that whiteness,its hard to imagine Global warming at play,However long ,long, ago....This whole area was the bottom of some primeval ocean....Mount McKinley,highest mountain peak in the USA,and North America....at 20,320 ft....Its still growing. 5 glaciers flow off this mountain. Here from Paxson PAXK to Allen AFB PABI....I wish I had a turbo equipped plane here..Ya need oxygen to fly this area.The Lil Cub just won't do it...As all the plane wrecks on those slopes will testify to.....HAVE FUN!....Vin ;D

I flew up there to get the Aerocache. My flight was IFG - I Follow Glaciers! ;D I followed this glacier all the way up. Here at the top getting the Aerocache. Denali behind me. I followed one glacier up to the peak and another down from there. Heading for a landing at Nugget Bench. O.K., I cheated. ;D There is no way the Cub could get up there so I switched to the Mustang, flew to the peak, then switched back to the Cub because ... it's more fun. Best regards. Luis
