  • Jessie and Kent hiked on the Mendenhall glacier above Juneau. We got a 30 minute helicopter ride before settling on the glacier. Our tour guides took us on a two hour walk. We felt like we were on the moon. Amazing experience. Jessie and I drank water straight from a glacier stream. The water is so good! It's pure because it is filtered by the glacier.

  • A wolf puppy crosses Mt. McKinley Road as visitors strain for a look. The puppy's wolf den is about nine miles from the entrance to Denali National Park and Preserve in Alaska. Visitors can drive their cars for the first 15 miles into the 90 mile park road. After 15 miles, they must be on a bus. This helps preserve the natural beauty of the park and limits human contamination.

  • Hikers get a closer view of Mt. Denali as the sun sets near Wonder Lake Campground. Denali is the tallest mountain in North America at over 20,000 feet. When the sun sets it glows orange which creates what is known as an alpenglow.<br />

  • My heart pounds as a grizzly bear walks past our vehicle in Denali National Park in Alaska. In North America, grizzly bears live mostly in Alaska, western Canada, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Washington. In the past they roamed from Alaska to Mexico and from California to Ohio. Now, with climate change increasing, grizzlies are moving north setting up a collision course with polar bears whose habitat is diminishing.

  • The aurora borealis lights up the sky on the Denali National Park Road in Alaska about 6 miles from park headquarters looking east. I was shooting dancing lights to the north when I spotted activity on the horizon to the east. Using a 14mm lens and a shutter speed set at 30 seconds, I planted my tripod in the middle of the road and waited. The dancing lights gained strength and to my delight, eventually spread over my head all the way to the other side of the horizon.<br />

  • I could not believe my eyes. I saw this scene as we were on the mountain pass. I yelled to the driver to pull over. He said, “I can’t. It's too narrow!” There was a semi truck following us on the treacherous incline. We kept driving and freaking out that we would miss the rainbow but to our delight it was still there when we reached the overlook where we could pull over. You never saw three photographers jump out of a car as fast as we did.<br />

  • A beaver shares bark from a stick with its kit on Horseshoe Lake near the entrance to the park. Each year, females usually gives birth to two babies. They spend their first month of life in the lodges. Young beavers stay with their parents for 2 years and help them maintain their dam and lodges.<br />

  • A one-year-old wolf pauses curiously while rummaging through the woods two miles from park headquarters in 2015. That year, because of a decline in the wolf population only 5 percent of Denali visitors reported seeing a wolf — down from 45 percent in 2010. From 2000 until 2010, the State of Alaska prohibited wolf hunting and trapping in two areas bordering the park as a buffer zone in order to protect two of the park’s three most-commonly viewed wolf packs. At the spring 2010 meeting of the Alaska Board of Game, the board decided to eliminate both closed areas and allow hunting and trapping of wolves in all areas bordering the park.<br />
