Sometimes rising at 5:00a.m. pays off! At the South end of Wonder Lake are some low rolling hills that offer spectacular vistas of Mt. McKinley (20,320’). My wife, Peggy was first to spot the three caribou bulls. Hidden behind some willows, I was able to take several pictures before they caught our scent and moved away.

An Alaskan bush pilot guides his DeHavilland Beaver over the Tokasitna Glacier into the heart of Denali's Southeast face. Getting up-close and personal gives visitors a true appreciation of the immense proportions of Mt. McKinley and the difficulties climbers face in reaching its summit.

The DeHavilland Beaver is considered by many to be the best bush plane ever built. With its all metal construction, high-lift wing, and flap configuration, the Beaver has excellent short take off and landing capability even with heavy loads. It was designed to operate on skis, wheels or floats. The beaver shown in this picture has wheels and skis for airstrip or glacier take off and landings. Over 1,600 Beaver aircraft were built between 1947-1967 in Canada, more than any other aircraft designed and manufactured in Canada. This popular plane is affectionately called the "half-ton truck with wings".

It is nearly midnight and I’ve finished photographing. I sit alone and watch. The air is cool and it is very still. The ‘Great One’ - Mt. McKinley sleeps and the silence is like thunder. It explodes across the land as the mountain begins to glow a blend of lavender and pink, like melted pearl. My reverie ends as the wake of a muskrat cracks the mirror of thought and the cry of a loon breaks the silence.

Many people consider the view of Mt. McKinley from Wonder Lake to be a wilderness masterpiece. They're right! It takes your breath away in any season, but in September as the caribou migrate through the multicolored tundra and the honking of thousands of sandhill cranes cracks the silence - it is truly magic.

Have you seen God in His splendors,
Heard the text that nature renders?
The simple things, the true things,
The silent men who do things -
Then listen to the wild-it's calling you.

Robert Service 'Call of the Wild'
