Since I’ve been stuck at home I decided to look for virtual tours online. I thought something in Alaska might be interesting to see since I haven’t been there and most likely won’t be able to visit. So I decided to check out the Denali National Park website and their photo galleries. Here’s some of what I found.
Denali (formerly Mount McKinley) is North America's tallest mountain at 20,310'
Landscapes in Denali and Denali Panoramas
These galleries had many interesting pictures of Denali, lakes and the surrounding landscape during the different seasons.
Aurora Borealis
There were quite of few photos of the Northern Lights. This was really interesting to look at since it looks so abnormal. I especially liked the pictures with a road and green in sky.
Alaskan Wildflowers
This was interesting to see the type of flowers that grow there.
People in Denali
These were not my favorite pictures and I’d rather see scenery instead.
These galleries did show Biking, Trail Hiking, Off-Trail Hiking, Volunteers and a Park Ranger in wheelchair leading a hike.
Wildlife in Denali
There were Photo galleries of many different animals including Dall sheep, Moose, Caribou, Canada Lynx, Snowshoe Hares, Foxes, Bears, Beavers, Wolves, Squirrels and Porcupines
I really enjoyed the silhouettes of moose, caribou and sheep as well as the Wildlife in the snow.
I also Enjoyed looking at all the birds including grouse, ptarmigan, cranes, geese, ducks, swans, hawks, eagles, falcons, owls, ravens, gray jays and more.
This was an interesting adventure, and even though it was just looking at photo galleries and not actually being there it was still a lot of fun.
If you want to see these galleries for yourself, you can visit this link.
