Denali with Mom

My mom, by happenstance, came up to Anchorage for a business conference.  Before diving into her professional responsibilites for the week we took the train up to Denali National Park and stayed there for the weekend.

Mom, me and Denali in the background (Mt. McKinely to you, whitey).  In addition to the name being a source of great contraversary, Denali is also the tallest mountain in North America, standing well above 20,000 feet.
