Denali is only one peak, these are peaks of the Alaska Range

Thanks for the correction - I’m less familiar with the area but it was a tour of Denali National Park hence the confusion.

No worries, I used to be a river guide up there, working on the south side of the range. One of the perks was the occasional comped tour on the flightseeing planes. I've been on the glacier landing tour twice!

Denali is a mountain with two peaks. North Peak and South Peak.

We got to fly around the peaks on a very clear morning. In a small Cesna plane with a very great pilot. It was so spectacular.

I found on google maps there is a street view from a bush plane flying up the lower parts of the mountain range. Looked dope

Gorgeous! Fun fact: if you're flying on Alaska Air and pass Denali on a clear day, the pilot usually gets fairly close to give all the passengers an amazing view.

I read peaks of denial. With everything it implies 😅

From Anchorage, it just looks like a huge lump. But when you get up close, as this beautiful photo amply demonstrates, you see it is anything but boring!
