We stayed at Northface Lodge about 90 miles inside of the park. I have two photos, one with the mountain and a husband and wife looking at it - the wife wanted to get a slightly different foreground into her photograph and she walked about 10 feet to her right - during those few seconds, the mountain disappeared! Posted below.Gorgeous shot! Camped near that peak, with a photographer carting a 4x5, for several days waiting for the cloud to clear in hopes of such a shot. The weather finally broke for a couple of days but Denali made it's own weather and I've never seen the peak with my own eyes.
That story sums up trying to see Denali, perfectly!We stayed at Northface Lodge about 90 miles inside of the park.

One interesting fact about Mt. Denali - It's taller than Mt. Everest. Not higher; taller. Height is measured from sea level and the top of Mt. Everest is farther above sea level than Mt. Denali but, Taller is measured from the base to the top and in this measurement, Mt. Denali is greater.That story sums up trying to see Denali, perfectly!
If I remember correctly, Wonder Lake was a bicycle ride from the lodge.Nicely done Howard! I've been out to Wonder Lake a couple of times and the mountain has been covered in clouds each time even while camping at the lake for a few days.
Here's the kind of Denali scenics I've managed to capture, it's looking down on the 14,000 foot camp(those tents and tracks in the snow in the lower right), the Kahiltna glacier and Mt. Foraker from the 17,000' camp on Denali. Shot with no metering on my old Nikon FE as the meter batteries couldn't handle the cold. Shot on Velvia if I recall correctly.

Yeah, only a few miles if I remember correctly. Beautiful place, I've always wanted to go back and spend a few nights at the lodge.If I remember correctly, Wonder Lake was a bicycle ride from the lodge.
Magnificent shot Dave... Love itNicely done Howard! I've been out to Wonder Lake a couple of times and the mountain has been covered in clouds each time even while camping at the lake for a few days.

Just estimated everything from sunny f/16 for most of the trip Shot on Velvia if I recall correctly.

Yes, thanks.What a magnificent photograph - stunning!
I've been there several times and always wondered what was behind the everpresent clouds in front of it. Great pic, thanks for posting.
Do you mean like this?To my eyes having the large shrub in the foreground serves to diminish the size of the mountains in the background. Check out some of Mangelsen's images of Denali to get an idea of how to avoid this.
