20,320

The South Peak (I think) of Mount McKinley seen from inside of Denali National Park. It's the highest mountain on the North American continent, and the highest (from base to peak) vertical rise mountain in the world. Everest is of course the tallest, but the base starts at a much higher altitude than McKinley. The row of smaller peaks mid-frame are probably between 3,000 and 5,000 feet, just to put the height in perspective.

Home sweet home! I'm glad you were able to go there for your 30th and commune, once again, with the wilderness! Fantastic shot Linc! I love the panoramic ones and landscapes. I feel transported there from viewing your pieces.
