After leaving Anchorage, in two days’ time we got to Denali National Park. Nearly a million travelers from all over the world visit it each season to look at the volcanic McKinley (6194 m). The weather is often not so good, and 4 out of 7 days per week the peak is hidden in the clouds. We chose the point of shooting on the steep foothills to photograph the top lit by the rising sun, and drove there by car to an altitude of 1300 m. In the evening there was a good sunset and at night it suddenly started down pouring, and the rain lasted 18 (!) hours. We were cooking blueberry jam in a tent on the Primus and scooping water out of the tent. Everything around was covered with fog. Once the rain stopped and the fog cleared up, the Beauty Volcanic McKinley turned up. We always felt volcano's breathing nearby our tent.
          Having said goodbye to the volcanic McKinley, we went on to the Arctic part of Alaska, across the river to the Yukon, in the center of Brooks Range. This area is relatively less visited by tourists - few travelers dare to go into this wilderness. The Yukon is the third largest river in North America. The sounds of the car attract moose and wolverines and they walk out onto the road.
