What an amazing and inspiring view at the Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska. The main subject of the photograph is the Toklat river, specifically its West Branch. The river runs on a valley almost silently, crystalline, streaming and flowing within the valley. This area is known for its classic mountain scenery and quick access to large expanses of alpine tundra deep in the Alaska Range. You are surrounded by the jagged peaks of the Alaska Range (seen in the far upper left side of the photo), but views of Denali (see bellow) are only possible from the highest ridges. This is a popular unit with a single primary access corridor and very open terrain. The Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska, one the many federally protected National Parks throughout the USA. Denali, means "The High One" in the native language spoken by the indigenous peoples of Alaska. The park is called after its centerpiece, Mount McKinley, originally called Denali. Mount McKinley is the mountain in the United States of America (USA) with the highest altitude, with a summit elevation of 20,320 feet above see level. One of the services at the park are their tours through the park and preserve, throughout which on is often encountered by freely and naturally-living wildlife. I actually took this photo during a Tundra Wilderness Trip, one of Denali's bus tours.
