Mt. Denali!

Foraker (native name: Menlale translates to “Denali’s wife”) at 17,400 feet , and Mt. Hunter (native name: Begguya translates to “Denali’s child”) at 14,573 feet.

September 4, 2023: “The Mountain” came out in full view for us! This is a spectacular view, as seen from the deck of our lodge! This came out later in the day of our glacier landing flight. We thank God for giving us this sight and the glacier landing flight in one day.
Photo op spot at the lodge!
