The tech on this is: Wisner 4x5 inch technical field camera and polarized 360mm Rodenstock Apo-Ronar lens on 120 Velvia chrome film using a 6x12cm roll film back. The location is 40 miles west of Paxson, Alaska on the Denali Hwy near the Maclaren River bridge. The white mountains in the back are the Alaska Range (same range that Denali and Foraker are within) and the tallest on the left is Mount Hayes at about 14,000 feet. I am 30+ miles from the mountains while making this image.

That's a nice photo. I've been in that exact spot before, trying to take a photo, but low clouds and haze kept me from getting a good one. Thanks for sharing that.

Denali Highway should be on everyone’s bucket list, thanks for a beautiful photograph, been there many times.

I agree. It's a must do if one has the time. I did it twice on my motorcycle and had a blast. One time the weather was crummy, so no pictures, the next time it was so good I didn't stop to take a lot of pictures.

You might know of Steve McCutcheon, "grand-daddy" of us Alaska photographers and a signer of the Alaska Constitution - anyway, I was sitting on top of MacLaren Summit when my old friend Steve comes along, like one vehicle every 20 minutes. He told me exactly which gravel pit to turn into and which trail to follow to this spot. Maybe I should have called it "Steve's View."
