Mount McKinley, Alaska. "Mt. McKinley" by Bruce Bohlen Nature Photography
My first view of Mt. McKinley, otherwise known as Mt. Denali, was breathtaking. At 20,320 feet, it is the tallest mountain in North America and is visible at great distances on a clear day. Also known as the "coldest" mountain, Mt. McKinley is as beautiful as it is dangerous.

Rainbow Near Exit Glacier in Alaska. "The Promise" by Bruce Bohlen Nature Photography
Alaska’s weather is ever changing. The squalls of weather that frequent themselves across the landscape can lead to opportunities to capture rainbows. This image was taken after a hike up to Exit Glacier near Seward, Alaska. A beam of light in the midst of a heavy sleet and rain storm provided for a humbling view of the beauty of nature.

Aspen Tree in Denali National Park, Alaska. "Lone Aspen" by Bruce Bohlen Nature Photography
A short walk from North Face Lodge in Denali National Park will put you at the shore of Wonder Lake with Mt. McKinley as a backdrop. As I gazed upon the majestic scene of the tallest mountain in North America, I turned around and this single yellow tree caught my eye. The composition of this "Lone Aspen" marked a significant moment for me.
