Alaska-Part 4

In the ranger station in Talkeetna they had a display of climbing boots used to climb Denali. We were on the plane with a lady who was going to climb the mountain this season. Her boots looked a lot different than these older versions.
We happened to catch the mountain at a time when we could see the top. However, our cameras had a hard time capturing it. I adjusted this picture as much a possible to show it. If the clouds hadn't moved in, I think my dad and Curt would have hopped on a plane for a tour of the summit.
How's this for 10:30 at night? I kept wondering why the roads weren't crowded. I had to keep reminding myself of how late it was.

You did some amazing things! We never got a peek at the mountain and I think Garry would love to go back for just that one sight!!
