I should probably have titled this post Cantwell to Denali National Park because on the stretch of road between Wasilla and Cantwell I couldn’t see anything more than a mile away in any direction because of low clouds. Not fog, exactly, but the clouds just came right down to the ground about a mile away from wherever I was. I’m glad that I had better weather when I came up here about 2 weeks ago and got those photos when I had the opportunity. I didn’t even stop at the southern viewpoints of Mt. Denali itself as I knew I wasn’t going to see anything.
Cantwell is about 30 miles from the entrance to Denali National Park. I am surprised how many pictures I took in that relatively short distance. I am sure I took some the first time I drove up this far, but now the mountains had a coating of snow which made them look very different.
Here are some of the things I saw as I drove the rest of the way to Denali NP.
This was probably the first time today I had seen anything above the low clouds. After Cantwell the low clouds went away fairly quickly.
