Alaska Range and Denali views from the Parks Highway in May 2009

Denali in the background, towering over the rest of the Alaska Range and the Chulitna River in the foreground.

I took this picture on my way home from Homer, from one of the Denali overlooks on the Parks Highway a ways north of Talkeetna. That is an amazing drive at all times of year, and spring is no exception. The highest, most distant mountain visible is Denali / Mount McKinley, while the rest of the Alaska Range rises over the Chulitna River in the foreground.
