| Mount McKinley at 20,320ft. is the largest mountain in North America. Due to its location, its also one of the coldest mountains in the world. Mount Mckinley (also known as Denali) is one of the most challenging mountains I have ever been on. Its also one of the most beautiful. These are some of the pictures from my climb. |
