This page begins and ends with September 1st. We got up in the morning and followed our plan to head to Denali National Park for an overnight stay in Riley Creek Campground. As you will soon see, we were fortunate and it was a mostly clear day. The Autumn colors were pretty much at their maximum and we had a great time. The only disappointing aspect of the day was that we saw no animals, not even a moose. Click on any thumbnail to begin.

On September 1 we drove down to Denali National Park for a final visit before the snows begin. Just a few miles south of Nenana is a great viewing spot to see Denali (20,310 feet = 6,190.5 meters) for a mile or so. This photo has been adjusted to bring out the mountain more. The second shot was taken from the parking lot of the Mt Healy Trail, which begins in Bison Gulch, along the Parks Highway. The third shot was taken inside Denali National Park as we were driving along.

Here are three shots of autumn colors and mountains. The center one is a 2-shot panoramic image. The red colored plant in the third shot is blueberry plants.

The first shot in this row is quite similar to the previous shot, but this one is not quite as vibrant. I had my camera set to cloudy conditions and Kazuya had his set to sunny conditions, we believe this is why the two shots are so different. The second and third shots show mountains and autumn colors.

While on the Park Road one gets the view of Denali seen in the first two photos. Again, the difference between the two shots was the camera settings we used; interesting. The third shot again shows mountains and autumn colors. Keep in mind that only about 30% of visitors to Denali NP even get to see Denali the mountain at all, so this is not a terrible view compared to what 70% of the visitors get to see.

More mountains and autumn colors. The center shot was taken from the same basic location as the first two shots in Row 5, above, the difference is that this photo was taken about 10 minutes later than the previous ones.
