They sell buttons for the 30% club, because only 30% of the visitors even see the mountain due to bad weather. We had 3 days of crystal clear weather, top to bottom and the full range. Beautiful. Can't wait to go back.

It looks beautiful there. What time of the year was this? When would be the best time to visit there as we are hoping to go next year.

Absolutely fantastic. Many years ago (film days) I was also lucky.

The following is a question and not a criticism. I notice in the first picture that there is a general blue tint to the picture and the mountain. I also get that on similar types of photos. Can anybody explain why this happens. Also, what one can do to get rid of it if you are not using Photoshop or Lightroom or essentials.

I believe it has to do with the refractive and reflective qualities of light rays - the white snow reflecting back into "space" the reflection of the blue sky.

Best time seems to be late Summer, early fall. We were there the last week of August, and there was ice on the street in Denali Village in early morning. Day temps were around 65-70. You can watch the mountain live from a camera at Talkeetna Lodge, about 65 miles from the mountain.

The blue haze is because of reflected light & altitude. It is actually accurate to what I saw when there, so I didn't try to change it.

Here is another angle. The vertical drops on each "shelf" are over 1000 feet. The distance between the peaks is 1.5 miles. This one is to get an idea of scale. I still have trouble wrapping my head around the size of that thing.

Thanks, I had a look but it's night time there. I'll try again later.
