It's Time For A Little History Lesson, Page Four

Denali National Park and Preserve was established in 1917 as Mount McKinley National Park-- and renamed Denali in 1980.

At approximately 6 million acres, most visitors will see only a fraction of the park from the 92 mile Park Road. The crown jewel of the park is Mount McKinley, North America's highest mountain at 20,320 feet. The Natives still call the Mountain "Denali" and that is what most everyone calls it.
The mountain is only visible about 35 percent of the time and when it is visible they refer to it a "Denali is out ".

Denali is so high that it creates it's own weather and it's always winter at the summit. It would be a crime to visit Alaska and not see Denali. It is unbelievably beautiful and you could spend hours photographing it.

There are many more town and cities I could talk about but some have ask why I am spending so much time telling about the towns and cities. I guess I'll give up on this and if someone wants to know more about some of the historic and interesting town and cities they can contact me via email.
