MT. MC KINLEY, ALASKA, USA
8/31/13
WE ARE GOING TO START OUT IN A BOAT ON
LAKE WONDER. AS WE TRAVEL ON THE BOAT, WE WILL
SEE ALDER AND WILLOW CARPETED HILLS ALONG WITH SOME SMALLER
PONDS. KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN CAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF
WATERFOWL AND OTHER WILDLIFE AROUND.
SOMETHING THAT WON'T BE HARD TO SEE IS THE STUNNING
VIEW OF MOUNT MCKINLEY AND THE ALASKA RANGE. MT. MCKINLEY
IS THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN PEAK IN NORTH AMERICA, WITH A
SUMMIT ELEVATION OF 20,320 FEET ABOUT SEA LEVEL. YOU WILL
SEE SNOW ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP AT ANY TIME OF
THE YEAR. THERE ARE FIVE LARGE GLACIERS THAT FLOW OFF
THE SLOPES OF THE MOUNTAIN. LAKE WONDER THAT WE ARE
TRAVELING ON WAS CREATED BY RETREATING GLACIERS. IF ANYONE
IS ENERGENIC, YOU CAN HIKE THE MOUNTAIN.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED YOUR RIDE ON THE BOAT WITH
THE SPECTACULAR VIEWS OF THE MOUNTAINS AND WILDLIFE...
