DenaliHwy032P5287206 A framed photo of the cool mountain in the Denali National Park area. DenaliHwy032P5287206
DenaliHwy033P5287211 A different shutter speed for this photo of the turbulent lenticular clouds in the area. DenaliHwy033P5287211
DenaliHwy034P5287213 The Nenana River Canyon next to Mount Healy was a cool place to stop, but it was very windy at that time, so only a few photos were taken. DenaliHwy034P5287213
DenaliHwy035P5287215 This is also that same place where the Alaska Railroad travels from Anchorage to Fairbanks. You can see the tracks and the river next to it. DenaliHwy035P5287215
DenaliHwy036P5287217 A evidence of the wind, here is Kate trying not to get blown away, and the Jepp in the distance. DenaliHwy036P5287217
DenaliHwy037P5287218 When we got closer to Fairbanks that evening, the clouds and setting sun created some nice scenes. DenaliHwy037P5287218
DenaliHwy038P5287219 This sign is one for the scrapbook. Need I say enough. DenaliHwy038P5287219
DenaliHwy039P5287221 Another view of the setting sun. DenaliHwy039P5287221
DenaliHwy040P5287223 Closer to Fairbanks, we got one of the better views of at least part of the base of Mt. Denali. DenaliHwy040P5287223
DenaliHwy041TananaPan1 On July 1, 2005, Kate and I did the entire Denali Highway trip for the 4th of July weekend. This time we set out down the Richardson Highway from Fairbanks to Paxson. Along the way, not far outside Fairbanks, I took a panoramic photo of the Tanana River. DenaliHwy041TananaPan1
DenaliHwy042P7017486 From the same pull out to take the panoramic photo, I couldn't pass up taking a shot of the outcrop near the highway. Kate is watching me be a tourist of Geology. DenaliHwy042P7017486
DenaliHwy043P7017490 Along the way, we followed the same route as the Alaska Oil pipeline. The pipeline zigs and zags, and occasionally dips under the road. This was one of those points, but the thing that really caught my eye, was the thunderstorm clouds in the distance. The pipeline heat emmitters can also be seen in the photo (the vertical features). DenaliHwy043P7017490
DenaliHwy044P7017491 Here is the view of the pipeline coming out of the ground... DenaliHwy044P7017491
DenaliHwy045P7017495 ...and the view across the road of it dipping into the ground. DenaliHwy045P7017495
DenaliHwy046P7017503 The sun through the clouds was a constant during this part of the trip. Another point about this part of the trip, Kate and I saw 4 moose on the Richardson Highway. Unfortunately our attempts at trying to take photos of them failed because they were just truckin' across the highway every time. DenaliHwy046P7017503
DenaliHwy047P7017508 I'm not sure if this was exactly where we were at along the highway, but I think this may be where the Black Rapids Glacier is located. At least you can see a portion of some glacier through the mountain pass. Notice the nice U-shape to the valley in the foreground - definately carved out by the glaciers. DenaliHwy047P7017508
DenaliHwy048P7017509 The Delta River as it flows alongside the highway in certain parts. DenaliHwy048P7017509
DenaliHwy049P7017513 Another area with the Delta River, mountains, and cool lighting through the clouds... DenaliHwy049P7017513
DenaliHwy050P7017514 ...in this same area, the outcrops were really cool. DenaliHwy050P7017514
DenaliHwy051P7017518 In the same area there was some other outcrops in the shape of spires. DenaliHwy051P7017518
DenaliHwy052P7017522 There were some great slide areas in this part of the Alaska Range. DenaliHwy052P7017522
DenaliHwy053P7017525 Kate was really enjoying the drive. DenaliHwy053P7017525
DenaliHwy054P7017526 More of the Alaska Range. DenaliHwy054P7017526
DenaliHwy055P7017530 The jagged peak of this mountain was really cool. DenaliHwy055P7017530
DenaliHwy056P7017531 A close up of one of the talus slides with the fan created by the slide in the foreground. DenaliHwy056P7017531
DenaliHwy057P7017534 The long road ahead, but the light on the mountain leads the way. DenaliHwy057P7017534
DenaliHwy058P7017535 The road seems to lead right into the stream coming from the mountains in this view. DenaliHwy058P7017535
DenaliHwy059P7017537 Another shot of a mountain peak in the area. DenaliHwy059P7017537
DenaliHwy060P7017538Reexposure A zoomed in enhanced shot of the stream in the mountains ahead. DenaliHwy060P7017538Reexposure
DenaliHwy061P7017541 The lining of the clouds by sunlight near Summit Lake. DenaliHwy061P7017541
DenaliHwy062P7017544 The better shot I took of what I think is the Gulkana Glacier. DenaliHwy062P7017544
DenaliHwy063P7017547 A zoomed out shot of the lined clouds with Summit Lake in the foreground. DenaliHwy063P7017547
