Mount Foraker and a sea of mountains, Denali National Park and Preserve
The weather here in Alaska has been off the charts, warm and beautiful. My friend OE and I have been trying to match schedules and we finally had the opportunity to go for an evening flight in the Alaska Range.
The Ramparts, Denali National Park and Preserve
We left Birchwood in his little Pacer around 7:30 and landed back in Birchwood at 10:30! It was a fantastic flight. The warm, windy days and lack of moisture have created some haze, even in the big mountains. The light never got really dynamic but it was still a beautiful and photographically successful trip. OE’s Pacer is a great little photo plane and I am looking forward to a few more spring flights before my summer expedition schedule goes into full swing.

Denali towers over everything!

The last shot of the foothills has beautiful light!
We did get a little bit of really nice light as we left the big mountains and into the foothills. That shot is my favorite.
Those are some awesome photos. I am jealous that you got to go in the evening. I’ve flown around Denali several times but always during the day without that spectacular light.
I like ’em all, but the Little Switzerland and southern foothills shots stand out especially!
