Denali National Park

Denali National Park in Alaska is one of the most beautiful places I have seen. My sense of what big is increased one order of magnitude having seen this huge place. The Park is bigger then Massachusetts.

I borrowed cloths from Bill Garrard (the jacket you see me in) and from Sinclair Stewart.	(29K) 450 x 338	Taiga regions of the park (pronounced ti-ga) have trees.
