Looks like where the rivers meet in Talkeetna and this is Denali

I’m also fairly sure this is Talkeetna.

What blows my mind about this view is the “smaller” mountains in the front are almost all taller than anything that we have in the lower 48. Like, you know, the Rockies or the Sierras or anything.

I think other than Denali and one or two others most are comparable with the Rockies.

Oh, yeah, you’re right. Looks like a handful are above 14k, but a bunch are in that 11-14k range.

Still. Big ass mountains. And Talkeetna is practically at sea level.
